Dump dinners are just the best!! This egg roll wrapper recipe idea is even easier though because youโre just cooking the insides! That is what the good part is anyway, the other is just to make it easier to handle when youโre eating them.
Throw it all in one pot, even your Ninja Foodi will work, saute a bit and then pressure cook for just ZERO minutes. Thatโs right, no joke.
If you havenโt tried cabbage in a while, your taste buds may have changed. I didnโt love it until my 40โs and now I am obsessed. The first recipe I made was this Instant Pot fried cabbage dish and I was in love from there. Seriously, if you have never used this veggie youโve gottaโ give it a good try.
Ingredient Notes
- Ground chicken, or ground pork / ground beef works as well. If you have leftover protein to use up you could use just about anything
- Bagged coleslaw mix makes it really quick and easy or you can chop it up yourself
- Chicken broth works the best to add more flavor vs. just water to steam the veggies to tender
- Soy sauce or aminos are a gluten free option that adds a ton of flavor so no salt is really necessary beyond this.
- Ground fresh ginger or you can find it jarred adds that Asian flavor profile you want
- Green onions and sesame seeds are optional to add on top at the end
Substitutions
This has ground turkey in it but you could just as easily dice up a breast or thigh and use that instead. Youโll need to saute any meat you use with a bit of olive oil in your pot first, then continue on to the next steps.
Of course like I said, this popular Asian dish has thousands if not millions of variations to it. As far as the meat you could use anything broken up into small pieces. Ground chicken is just what was on hand to use here. You could easily make your own cabbage mixture, just stick to 8 ounces as the ratio of vegetables to liquid is important. Water could be substituted but wonโt lend as much flavor.
Tips
If you are worried about the rule on the Instant Pot website that you must always add at least 1 cup of liquid or youโll receive the burn notice, that isnโt true. When accounting for this you do need to remember that the meat will release some liquid as well as a bit from the veggies. You donโt want a lot of excess moisture or you will get more of a mushy result instead of just getting them to wilt and tenderize.
What is a zero pressure cooker time? It sounds kindaโ funny but it is possible to do and a few recipes out there require this. Broccoli is one if you still like a bit of firmness, buttered cabbage and this one too.
- Itโs easy!
- Press manual (if you have that button)
- Then hit pressure cook
- Adjust time with โ and + sign to go down past 1 to where it says 0
- The pot will still take time to reach pressure. Once it does it will beep telling you it is done. Then quick release as that is all the โcook timeโ it needs.
This is what it looks like once it is done and โfluffedโ up. You donโt want to cook it for more than 0 minutes because the cabbage will get way too soft and mushy. You can deep fry or air fry some egg roll wrappers and serve on the side for a bit of crunch too which is kindaโ fun.

Does this Reheat Well?
Of course!! You know how I hate to waste food so I always want ways of keeping it well for a few days and enjoying it again for another meal. That way you get a 2 for 1 in a sense and a quick second for lunch or dinnertime. You will want to keep it moist so store it in a container with a lid first once it has cooled.
in microwave
Remember that cabbage leaves will continue to wilt as they sit so I recommend enjoying this within the next 24 hours ideally. I am a big texture person so thereโs thatโฆ.. Now you can heat in 45 second increments stirring in between in your microwave to reheat. That works but if you really want to fix the soft texture you can use your air fryer.
in the oven
Youโd need to move this into an oven safe dish or small pan that will fit. Spread it out and heat at 400 degrees F for 2 minutes, toss, and heat again for another 2-3 again or until it is as hot as youโd like it to be. That way it will liven it back up a bit and crisp up the edges of your leaves nicely. In a pan will do something similar getting rid of that wetness it will have.
