As kimjang (traditional Korean kimchi-making) winds down, leftover salted cabbage leaves become the star of a comforting dish: cabbage-shrimp dumplings. The presoaked cabbage acts as a gluten-free wrapper after rinsing and draining. Filling is simple and light—chopped peeled shrimp and chive (buchu) seasoned with a splash of cooking essence—then rolled inside cabbage leaves and pan-fried in grape seed oil until crisp outside and tender inside. Cabbage is high in vitamin C, K, fiber and helps winter immunity and digestion. This recipe turns kimjang leftovers into an easy, healthy, and flavorful meal.
