Preparing cabbage
Do you peel cabbage leaf by leaf? Or you do it differently. Let me show you how I do mine.
First buy cabbage of the "right size". Chop it into half.
ok, this is how my knife looks like ... notice the saw like edge. By the way, it is very sharp.
Cut out the stem in two strokes. Cut it at about 45 degree.
Remove the stem.
Chop it up in this manner.
Transfer the whole lot into the bowl for washing. I know some of the people don't wash cabbage. It is ok with me.
Use your fingers and "crash" the leaves. They should drop into pieces...
You know what to do next.... cook it the way you like it. It should take you less than 1 minute to prepare the cabbage for cooking. You have better and faster way to do it? Please let me know.
When I was in UK, the English student throw the whole cabbage into a pot of boiling water for cooking! Amazing method but I respect their way of cooking.
