Step 1

If using the cabbage for a raw preparation such as cole slaw, I recommend removing any thick and fibrous outer leaves.

Step 2

Rinse and dry the cabbage well, then cut in half through the stem.

Step 3

Cut those halves in half to yield quarters, then cut the core out of each quarter.

Step 4

Lay each cabbage quarter on a flat side, and thinly slice into ribbons. The cabbage is now ready to be used!
