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.
With a chef’s knife, cut in half lengthwise, all the way through the core. Cut each half in half so you have four quarters.
Remove the triangular core by cutting into the core at an angle and remove it from each quarter.
Place the quarters, cut side down, on the cutting board. Use a chef’s knife to cut the quarters into slices cutting lengthwise. If you want to chop the cabbage, cut the cabbage quarter crosswise along the width.
NOTES
Use a long chef's knife to cut the cabbage. This way you can cut through it in one go rather than lots of small cuts.
Make sure that your knife is sharp. Sharp knives are less likely to slip and cut you.
Remove the core of the cabbage as well as older outer leaves as these can be tougher and harder to eat.
