If you use raw cabbage for cabbage rolls, you simply won't be able to wrap it and all the filling will fall out. Be sure to steam the vegetable, removing the top hard leaves.

Not every meat is suitable for cabbage rolls. It is best to choose pork: then the filling will be really juicy. Chicken or beef is better to avoid.
Do not add completely raw rice

If you add raw rice to the minced meat, it will absorb all the moisture and the cabbage rolls will be dry. So be sure to boil the cereal until half cooked.
Making roast
Do not forgest about roast
Roasting vegetables greatly affects the taste of cabbage rolls. It is this addition that makes the dish very juicy. And it's best to use sour cream rather than tomato sauce. Also, add spices.
