Boiled rice is mixed in a large bowl (so that it is convenient to mix) with minced meat, salt, spices and eggs. The mass is thoroughly kneaded so that it acquires a homogeneous state.
Then add chopped cabbage to everything, after which everything is mixed again.
For further work, you will need a thick-walled frying pan. The best option would be cast iron. Oil is heated on it.
With hands moistened with water, you need to form small oblong cabbage rolls from the resulting mass and put in oil heated in a pan. Lazy cabbage rolls are fried on both sides until golden brown.
When all the cabbage rolls are fried, add grated tomatoes or tomato paste diluted in water to the pan. Water is added so much that its level is slightly below the upper border of the stuffed cabbage. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes over low heat.
These stuffed cabbage rolls are served hot. In addition to them, ordinary sour cream of any fat content or mayonnaise will serve.
