    Carve out the cabbage root then add the head of the cabbage to a pot of boiling water with salt, allow it to boil for a few minutes, then start to loosen the leaves using a pair of tongs. Place the leaves on a paper towel-lined tray to drain and cool, then cut away the thick rib in the middle of the leaf.
