Step 1
1. Dip the cabbage into boiling water for a minute; this will make the leaves easier to separate and more pliable. Remove the leaves and let them boil in the water for 3-5 minutes. Then drain them on a paper towel to remove excess water. The leaves should become slightly translucent and somewhat rubbery.
