Fill a pot with water, bring it to a boil, and place the whole cabbage head into the water. Press it down with a spoon so the cabbage doesn't float. Keep the cabbage in the water for five minutes. Transfer the cabbage to a colander, but do not discard the water from the pot. Let some of the water drain off the cabbage. Then separate it into leaves. If you notice the leaves are still too firm, return the cabbage to the boiling water.
