Instructions

  1. Separate the Chinese cabbage leaves and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the water and salt until the salt is fully dissolved.
  3. Soak the cabbage leaves in the saltwater solution for a few hours to soften them.
  4. After soaking, rinse the cabbage leaves thoroughly under running water to remove excess salt.
  5. Lay the cabbage leaves on a kitchen towel to dry completely.
  6. Once dry, mix the finely shredded Swede with the cabbage leaves to create the stuffing.
  7. Roll the stuffing in fresh rose petals to serve.

Notes

Use fresh, pesticide-free rose petals for the best flavor and safety. This dish is best served fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Experiment with different types of roses for varying flavors.
