4. Rinse the rice until it runs clear. Pour it into a saucepan, add water and salt.

5. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover and let cool completely (without stirring).

6. Add the minced meat, onion and carrot fry, mayonnaise, salt and pepper to the rice and mix everything.

7. Wrap individual portions of the filling in cabbage leaves to make cabbage rolls.
