Clean and wash the cabbage and remove approx. 16 large external savoy cabbage leaves. Cook the cabbage leaves in portions in boiling water for about 2 minutes. Then drain. Cut the middle ribs flat. Cut the rest of the cabbage into strips. Soak the rolls in cold water. Peel and finely chop the onions.
Knead minced meat, squeezed out roll, half onion cubes, mustard and egg. Season with salt, pepper and paprika. Form minced meat into 8 oval dumplings. Place 2 cabbage leaves overlapping on top of each other and place 1 minced dumpling on top of each. Wrap the edges of the cabbage and roll up. Wrap tightly with kitchen string (or bamboo ribbon). Heat oil in a roasting pan. Brown the cabbage rolls all around. Remove. Heat butter in a frying pan. Fry the rest of the onions and cabbage strips for about 5 minutes, turning them over. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in tomato paste and sweat it on. Deglaze with 3/4-1 litre water, bring to the boil and stir in stock.
