Prepare all of the ingredients. Pay attention to those that are divided. Boil cabbage leaves last. While cabbage leaves are cooling and draining, spray pan lightly with cooking spray. Over medium heat sauté squash, half the onion, half the cauliflower, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp black pepper, adding the chicken and garlic after a minute or two. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon Worcestershire, splash of pickled asparagus juice (optional) and 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce. Cook until just cooked through and remove from heat. Set aside. In a bowl add rice, egg, milk, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, celery,1/2 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp worcestershire, 2 tsp cilantro. Stir together until well mixed. Add the chicken mixture and stir together. Divide the combined mixture between the eight boiled cabbage leaves. Place in bottom third, fold up bottom over the mixture, fold in each side and roll the rest of the way. Repeat. In bowl mix salsa, tomato, green pepper, rest of cauliflower, lime, rest of the onion, 1 tsp cilantro, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp black pepper, and asparagus (if using). Place in rolls in slow cooker and spoon tomato mixture over each. Cook on low to 7 hours. Or, put in refrigerator and take out to slow cook up to 9 hours before serving. One serving is 2 rolls.
