Ingredients
Chinese cabbage leaves: 10
Hot water: Enough to blanch the cabbage leaves
Potatoes: 250 g (about 2 medium-sized potatoes)
Water: Enough to boil the potatoes
Mushrooms: 50 g (sliced)


Onion: 60 g (finely chopped)
Bell pepper: 30 g (chopped)
Cooking oil: 1 tablespoon
Black pepper: 1/5 teaspoon
Salt: 1/5 teaspoon

Directions
Prepare the Cabbage Leaves:
Remove 10 large leaves from the Chinese cabbage.
Blanch the leaves in hot water for 2-3 minutes until softened. Set aside to cool.
Cook the Potatoes:
Peel and dice the potatoes.


Boil in water for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash lightly.
Prepare the Filling:
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Sauté the chopped onion for 2 minutes.
Add the mushrooms, bell pepper, black pepper, salt, and garlic powder.

Cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
Assemble the Wraps:
Lay a softened cabbage leaf flat.

Place a spoonful of the filling mixture on one end of the leaf.
Roll the leaf tightly to form a wrap, tucking in the sides as you roll.

Optional Step (Fry or Bake):
For extra flavor, you can lightly fry the wraps in a skillet or bake them in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10-15 minutes.
Serve:
Arrange the cabbage wraps on a platter and serve warm.
