- Preheat Braiser pan on medium heat approximately 5-7 minutes or until several drops of water sprinkled on the pan skitter and dissipate
- Brown meatballs for about 3-4 minutes on all sides. Brown meatballs, but don’t worry that they are not cooked through at this point. Remove meatballs and set aside on clean plate.
- In a small bowl combine tamari and sesame oil.
- Shred cabbage into thin strips by placing cabbage leaves on top of each other and slicing thinly. Place shredded cabbage into a bowl of cool water, lift cabbage out of water and drain, shaking off excess water.
- Place shredded cabbage in Braiser pan to cover bottom of pan, spreading it out evenly, pressing down slightly so all of the cabbage fits into Braiser pan.
- Place meatballs on top of cabbage. Pour tamari mixture over meatballs.

- Serve portion of cabbage with meatballs on top, garnish with extra chopped scallions if desired.
