   Cabbage is also desirable to choose the right one, it should not be very dense so that we can easily separate the leaves without damaging them. Otherwise, you will have to cook the whole cabbage head. So, separate 15-20 sheets of cabbage, cut the hard ribs and lower in a pot of boiling water for 3-5 minutes.
