- Lay a cabbage leaf flat and place about 3 tablespoons of filling near the base.
- Fold in the sides and roll up tightly like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
- Lightly spray a steamer basket with avocado oil spray. (If using a bamboo steamer, line with parchment that has been punched with many holes, then spray with oil.)

- Steam over boiling water for 12 - 15 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked (should be 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.
