How to prepare vegetables

Cabbage

Cabbage - julienned

Separate the leaves and remove the core. Cut the leaves in half lengthwise to make it easier to julienne, then stack, roll up, and slice very thinly from end to end.

Cabbage - bite-size pieces

Separate the leaves, remove the core, cut the leaves in half lengthwise, and then stack. Cut into 3 cm (1.2 in.) wide strips, then cut into 3 cm (1.2 in.) wide squares.

Cabbage - wedge cut

Cut in half lengthwise, place the knife at the center of the cut surface, and cut into equal halves. This cutting method is used for simmered dishes such as pot-au-feu and when making grilled cabbage.

Cabbage - roughly chopped

Separate the leaves, place the knife diagonally along the core to remove. Cut the leaves in half lengthwise, stack, and then cut into 3 - 4 cm (1.2 to 1.6 in.) wide strips.
