Ingredients

Instructions

  • Remove any damaged or browned outer leaves and rinse under cold water.
  • Place the head of cabbage on a cutting board or clean work surface with the stem side down.
  • Locate the stem of the cabbage. With a chef’s knife, cut in half lengthwise, all the way through the core.
  • If making shredded cabbage, remove the triangular core by cutting into the core at an angle where the stem meets the leaves of the cabbage, and remove it from each half.
  • Place the halves, cut side down, on the cutting board. Starting at the end opposite the stem, cut crosswise from top to bottom into thin slices.
