Step 1

Place a vegetable steamer or metal colander in a large pot. Fill with enough water to come just below the steamer/colander.

Step 2

Quarter the cabbage lengthwise. Place quarter on their sides and cut out the cores; discard cores.

Step 3

Separate each quarter into two sections (inner white layers and outer green layers). Working with one section at a time, press down and cut lengthwise into thin strips. Repeat until all of the cabbage is cut.

Step 4

Bring the water in the pot to a boil. Add the cabbage, cover (crack cover to allow some steam to escape),and steam for 4 to 8 minutes until caboodles are tender but not completely wilted.

Step 5

Remove cabbage from steamer and enjoy in any way that you would serve noodles.
