Easy Stuffed Cabbage Lumpia
Rhoda created this dish for Top Chef ™ 23. This easy version keeps her clever single-roll lumpia — sliced into pretty spiral rounds — while leaning on store-bought citrus ponzu and ready-made crunchy chili crisp to skip the longest steps. The miso-spiked apple butter mostarda stays to frame the rounds with a sweet, funky, sharp note, and an optional sear of the cut faces gives that crisp lumpia finish. A weeknight-friendly take on the dish that won the elimination challenge.
