Wash the cabbage, remove the outer spoiled leaves, and cut out the core. Place the cabbage head into boiling hot water and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the outer leaves begin to loosen easily. Remove about 10-12 leaves this way. Boil them in boiling water for another 3-4 minutes until tender. Cool the leaves and trim off the thick central veins.
