DIRECTIONS :

For the Sauce:

1. Place a saucepan on the stove, then add all the ingredients to the sauce. Stir until well blended. Turn the heat to medium and allow the mixture to boil.
2. Turn the heat down to medium-low, then simmer the mixture for about 3 minutes or until the texture becomes thick.
3. Remove from the heat.
4. Move about 1/4 cup of the sauce into a large mixing bowl.

For the Cabbage and Filling:

1. Prepare the oven and preheat it to 200 degrees C or 400 degrees F.
2. Apply cooking spray to the inside of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
3. Place a large pot with water on the stove and turn the heat to high. Allow the water to boil.
4. Add the cabbage and a bit of salt, then cook for about 2 minutes. Move it to a plate and separate the leaves.
5. Put the broccoli into the boiling water and let it sit for a few minutes, then drain right away and rinse with cold water.
6. In a mixing bowl, add the brown rice, broccoli, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, egg, the reserved sauce, 2 tbsp of the scallions, and pork. Stir everything until well incorporated.
7. Remove the vein of each cabbage leaf, then fill it with the meat mixture and roll each. Arrange them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
8. Add the rest of the sauce on top of the cabbage rolls and make sure to coat them well. Cover the baking dish with foil.
