  • Get rid of the water after 10 seconds, and pour cold water over the cabbage using a strainer. This will soften the cabbage a bit.
  • Now add the carrots and other ingredients and mix well. Add a pinch of salt and pepper if you think it’s needed. Let it sit in the fridge for 2 hours, then serve.

    This is supposed to be a recipe using cabbage, but the instructions keep referring to “kale” or “cale”. The photo is of cabbage.

  2. By the way, I agree with your advice to blanch the cabbage; I’ve always done this and thought I was the only one! Another option is to saute the shredded cabbage for a minute.
