No rice: easy Chinese cabbage rolls that are cooked in a pan

Cabbage rolls are not only a delicious and satisfying dish but also a healthy one because they are based on rice, meat or vegetables, cabbage, and a delicious sauce. They can be cooked without cabbage or you can simply chop it finely and add it to the minced meat, which will make them even softer and tastier.
