To celebrate Chinese New Year, I’m beyond excited to bring you this quick and easy Asian-inspired dish using products from a few of my favorite brands.

  • Dole Pineapple Chunks – for a burst of sweetness and a punch of nutrition. Did you know pineapple is rich in Vitamin C and fat free and cholesterol free?
  • Minute® White Rice – the perfect accompaniment to any Asian meal. This rice cooks up in just 5 minutes. It’s also free of gluten, MSG, and preservatives.
  • Kikkoman Teriyaki Sauce – pairs beautifully with the pineapple and infuses the turkey and veggies with sweet and savory teriyaki flavor. I used the less sodium variety and found the rolls to be seasoned to perfection.

Head to your local grocery store and find these items in the canned fruit, rice, and Asian food aisles. My second home, also known as Cub Foods, had a plentiful stock of Dole, Minute®, and Kikkoman products for me to choose from.

Serves: 16 cabbage rolls
Ingredients
  • 1 bell pepper, finely chopped
  • ½ onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 can (20 ounces) Dole pineapple chunks, drained well
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • ¾ cup Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade and Sauce, divided (I used the low sodium version)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 ¼ cups uncooked Minute White Rice
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) chicken broth
  • 1 head napa cabbage
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the bell pepper, onion, garlic, pineapple chunks, ground turkey, ¼ cup of Kikkoman sauce, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a large casserole dish, combine the uncooked rice and chicken broth.
  4. Remove 16 outer cabbage leaves, rinse with water, and pat dry. Place ¼ cup (or less depending on size of leaf) of filling in the bottom half of each leaf. Bring the bottom portion of the leaf up over the filling. It’s okay to break the tough rib in order to fold it up. Then, roll tightly. Place the cabbage roll in the casserole dish seam side down. Repeat for the remaining leaves. Pour ½ cup of sauce over the cabbage rolls.
  5. Bake in the oven, covered for 15 minutes. Then uncover and bake for the remaining 15 minutes. To serve, layer ½ cup of rice on the plate and place 1-2 cabbage rolls on the bed of rice. Drizzle extra Kikkoman teriyaki sauce over the top if desired.

    Asian comfort food, I love it! It’s so great how you’re making the rice at the same time in the casserole dish. I certainly love not having to dirty extra pans. Happy Chinese New Year! #client

    What do you think of doing it in the crockpot while I’m gone gone for the day?

      Hi Cortney! I think the rolls could definitely work in the crock pot. The cabbage will be probably get really soft and tender. The only part I’d skip is the rice. I think it would get really mushy. If you give the rolls a try in the crock pot, report back! I’d love to hear how it went!
