Chicken Cabbage Wraps

Anyone reading this who is not from Australia, and has never visited, may be under the impression it doesn't get cold here - it does! It was 3∘C when I left home this morning, and Barbie wanted her ears warmed!
I have been looking for some lovely, heart warming meals that are not fat laden, to enjoy in the cold weather, minus the guilt - thank you!
I had planned to make cabbage rolls, but the idea of fiddling with many rolls didn't give me a great rush of motivation.......... I'll make two parcels, or wraps, yeah - faster, easier....... Done!
Ingredients
Cabbage leaves - enough to line your chosen large ramekins and cover the top
250g lean Chicken mince
1/2 cup cooked, white rice
1 clove Garlic, crushed
1/2 Brown Onion, finely diced
Dash - Soy Sauce
Dash - Fish Sauce
Dash - Sweet Chilli Sauce
1/2 teaspoon Brown Sugar
How to
Blanch the cabbage in slowly boiling water for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes, and place in a colander to drain. Mix all other ingredients in a bowl, you should have a fairly wet mixture.
Line two large ramekins, or heat proof dishes, with the cabbage - leaving enough overhanging to cover over the top. Place 1/2 the chicken mixture into each lined ramekin, and fold cabbage over, as tightly as possible. Place bowls into a bamboo steamer. And steam for approx. 25 minutes, or until cooked by testing with finger pressure. Drain juices and invert onto a plate for serving. I like mine with a little sweet chilli sauce.

Ideas
These can be changed in many ways to suit your tastes, by adding some cashews or almonds for crunch, grated carrot and zucchini to further reduce calories and increase vegetable content............ We are only ever limited by our imaginations
