Instructions

  1. Remove any damaged, stiff and/or browned outer layers of the cabbage and discard them.
  2. Wash the cabbage head thoroughly under cold water.
  3. Using a large chef’s knife, slice off the root of the cabbage and discard.
  4. Stand up the cabbage upright with stem side down and cut the in half through the stem.
  5. Place the cabbage cut side down, and cut the cabbage again in half to create 4 quarters.
  6. Remove the root of the cabbage by cutting it out diagonally.
  7. Thinly slice the cabbage alongside the short edge of the cabbage.
  8. Alternatively, use a wide peeler to peel alongside the short edge for thinner shaved pieces.
  9. Use in recipe or transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 7 days.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any cut cabbage in an airtight container or plastic bag in the crisper in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can add a paper towel to absorb the moisture and help keep them fresh.
  • Tools: I love using a wide vegetable peeler (affiliate link) for shredding cabbage. It's so much faster and the result is finer slices of cabbage.
