Steps
1
Rehydrate the Shiitake and finely chop them. Finely chop the onion.
2
Blanch the cabbage until it softens, then put it in cold water. Drain and thoroughly wipe off any moisture before removing the hardest part of the ribs.
3
Rub the shrimps (that have been peeled and deveined) with salt and potato or corn starch (separate from ingredients), then wash and thoroughly wipe dry.
4
Finely chop the shrimps with a kitchen knife and crush it with the flat side of the knife to make it slimy. Once it becomes a sticky paste, mix well with A and divide into 4 equal parts.
5
Spread 1 cabbage leaf with the ribs at the bottom, put 2. on top, and roll once. Fold the sides inward, and roll to the end.
6
Fold the protruding leaves and push them inside. Make 3 more in the same way and arrange them on a casserole.
7
Bring white wine to a boil in a pot, then add the Shiitake rehydrating liquid and fresh cream. Simmer until it is somewhat thick.
8
Add salt & pepper to taste, then add the wholegrain mustard before turning off the heat.
9
Pour the sauce from 7. over 6. Put the butter on top and bake in the oven at 220 degrees Celsius for 15–20 minutes until browned.
10
Serve on a plate and garnish with dill.
