How Do You Tenderize Cabbage?
To tenderize cabbage, cut the cabbage into manageable pieces and remove the tough and fibrous core. Next, blanch the cabbage by boiling it for 3-5 minutes or steaming it for 8-10 minutes until it’s slightly tender. Afterward, you can sauté, stir-fry, or braise the cabbage according to your recipe. Adding acid like vinegar, lemon juice, or tomato sauce can also help to tenderize cabbage.
