Ingredients for Making Stuffed Grape Leaves
(Serves 4)
- 200g pork belly
- 200g fresh prawns
- 500g fresh vermicelli noodles
- 2 bunches of mustard greens
- Fresh herbs: scallions, garlic, aromatic herbs like basil, mint, and perilla leaves...
- Seasonings: soy sauce, sugar...
- 100g ground pork liver Steps to make stuffed grape leaves
Step 1:
- Rinse the pork belly thoroughly, boil until fully cooked. Let it cool down, then slice thinly.
- Wash the fresh prawns carefully. Pour water into a pot, bring to a boil, then steam the prawns for 5 minutes until cooked.
- Let the prawns cool down, then peel and remove the black vein from the back. Cut the prawns in half lengthwise or leave them whole according to preference.
Step 2:
- Wash and remove the roots of scallions, blanch them in boiling water until tender yet crisp.
- Wash the mustard greens and aromatic herbs thoroughly, then soak them in salted water to ensure safety.
- Peel and clean the garlic, crush them. Toast the peanuts until golden brown, then crush them into small pieces. Wash the chili peppers, then chop them into small pieces.
Step 3:
- Place mustard greens on a tray, add some vermicelli in the middle, then add a slice of pork, half or whole prawn, assorted herbs, and roll tightly by hand. Use blanched scallion strands to secure.
Step 4:
- Prepare the dipping sauce: Put crushed garlic in a pot, sauté until fragrant. Add ground liver, stir-fry until cooked, then add soy sauce, sugar, adjust seasoning to taste.
- Finally, arrange the stuffed grape leaves on a plate. Serve the dipping sauce in a bowl, topped with prepared chili peppers and toasted peanuts. Garnish with a few sprigs of herbs or pre-shredded carrots.
Note:
- Choose fresh prawns for the best taste and texture. Steam the prawns until they are just cooked through; overcooking will result in tough, less flavorful meat.
- You can substitute pork belly with lean pork shoulder if your family prefers leaner meat. However, stuffed grape leaves are best enjoyed with pork belly as the combination of lean meat and fat prevents the rolls from becoming dry.
- Opt for fresh green mustard greens to enhance the visual appeal of the rolls.
Final Product Requirements: The finished stuffed grape leaves should retain the sweet taste of steamed prawns, the richness of pork, and the refreshing taste of vermicelli noodles, all complemented by the sweet, savory, and slightly creamy dipping sauce. This dish is perfect as an appetizer, light yet tantalizing to the taste buds, stimulating the appetite for the following dishes. You can also enjoy stuffed grape leaves as a side dish, a refreshing palate cleanser when the table is filled with oily meat and fish dishes.
