*This recipe was developed for
Gourmet d'Expert® Electric Skillet (EP-RAC50). Adjustments may be necessary when using other models.
1
Peel potatoes. Peel and cut daikon into 1 inch thick disks. Cut atsu-age tofu in half then cut diagonally.
2
Place potatoes, daikon, atsu-age tofu and all ingredients for broth in the Gourmet d’Expert® Electric Skillet and set temperature to HIGH (480°F/250°C). When the soup reaches a boil, skim off any scum that rises to the surface, place the lid and reduce heat to SIMMER.
3
Prepare the stuffed cabbage. Boil water in a pot large enough to fit the cabbage head. Make deep slits around the core of the cabbage head and blanch in boiling water for about 3 minutes or until pliable. Remove cabbage head from the pot and reserve the hot water. Carefully peel off 4 softened leaves under cold water and set aside (save extra cabbage for other recipes).
4
Make filling for the stuffed cabbage. In a large bowl, mix ground pork, onion, ginger, salt and pepper.
5
Carefully shave off thick ribs from peeled cabbage leaves with a knife. Divide the filling into 4. Place one quarter of filling on a leaf, fold both sides in and roll up. Secure the ends with toothpicks. Place rolled end side down in the skillet.
6
Cover with lid and cook from 30 minutes to 1 hour at SIMMER or until daikon disks and potatoes are tender.
7
Reboil the hot water used to blanch the cabbage head. Remove stems from tomatoes with a small knife. Blanch tomatoes for 30 seconds in boiling water and transfer tomatoes to cold water to peel the skins. Boil eggs for 6 minutes in the same pot, and peel shells in cold water.
8
Add tomatoes, boiled eggs, imitation crab meat, and sausage to the skillet. Place the lid back onto the skillet and cook for 15 minutes.
9
Serve with mustard and enjoy!
