Cabbage rolls are one of the famous late Autumn dishes in Japan. Savory pork filling is rolled with beautiful green cabbage and cooked in a delicious tomato base soup. This dish makes you warm and cozy. This is also the perfect holiday dish! You can make a lot of them and serve at holiday parties with your friends and family!
Roll Kyabetsu is one of my favorite dishes for when the weather gets cold. It uses ground pork wrapped with cabbage and simmered in a tomato base soup. So warm and cozy dish.
I remember my mom cooked this when it got cold, and that was a sign that winter would come soon for me. This dish is a type of western-style cuisine in Japan which we call ‘Yo-shyoku’. In Japan, lots of Yo-shyoku dishes are widely cooked and loved, such as omurice, potato croquettes, white stew, and hamburger steak.
I hope you will like it and try to make for the upcoming holidays!
