Step 1
First, we need to put water in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. When it boils, add bay leaf and black peppercorns, then place the whole cabbage head into the water and cook for no more than 5 minutes. While the cabbage is cooking, we can prepare the sauce. In a bowl, mix together egg, sour cream, mustard, oil, salt, and pepper, then whisk everything with a whisk or fork.
