Method
 

Prepare Cabbage
  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the Napa cabbage and place the head in the boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until the leaves are pliable. Remove and cool.
  2. Once cooled, gently peel off the leaves and set aside.
Make Filling
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cooked rice, chopped mushrooms, grated carrot, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Assemble Rolls
  1. Take a cabbage leaf, place about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling at the base, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.
Prepare Sauce
  1. In a skillet, combine vegetable broth, soy sauce, and sugar. Bring to a simmer. Add the cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened.
Bake Rolls
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the cabbage rolls in a baking dish, pour the sauce over them, and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Serve
