Preheat your oven to 180°C. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the whole green cabbage to the boiling water and boil for a few minutes until the outer leaves soften.

Carefully peel off 4 to 5 large, softened leaves from the cabbage. Trim off any thick stalks from the peeled leaves to make them more pliable for forming cups.

Place one cabbage leaf into a small bowl, gently pressing it to form a cup shape. Repeat for the remaining leaves.

In a separate large bowl, combine all the chicken filling ingredients: chicken breast mince, panko crumbs, finely chopped spring onion, chopped coriander, 2 tablespoons red curry paste, grated ginger, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice and zest, and the egg. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Spoon the prepared chicken filling into the cabbage cups you've formed in the bowls. Gently press the filling to help the cabbage cup hold its shape.

Arrange the filled cabbage cups snugly in an ovenproof pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together all the red curry sauce ingredients: 2 tablespoons red curry paste, coconut milk, soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar, until well combined. Pour the whisked sauce evenly over the arranged cabbage cups in the pan.

Bake the pan with the cabbage cups and sauce in the preheated oven at 180°C for 45 minutes, or until the chicken filling is cooked through and the sauce is bubbling.

To serve, carefully spoon a cabbage cup onto a plate. Spoon additional sauce from the pan over the top. Optionally, garnish with fresh coriander and serve with rice.
