How to chop cabbage in a minute: an impressive life hack

Cabbage is one of the most popular vegetables in Ukrainian cuisine. It is used to make borscht, cabbage rolls, dumplings, salads, and many other dishes. However, shredding cabbage can be quite a laborious process.

Telegraph writes about it.

There are several ways to shred cabbage quickly and easily:

An ordinary knife:

• This method is the easiest, but also the longest.
• To make the process a little faster, you can use a sharp knife with a wide blade.
• The disadvantage of this method is that the pieces of cabbage may come out in different sizes.

Cabbage grater:

• This method allows you to shred cabbage quickly and easily.

• There are two types of cabbage graters: straight blades and wavy blades.
• A straight-blade shredder produces a finer cut, which is suitable for salads.
• The wavy blade grater produces thicker slices, which are suitable for braising and stewing.

Blender:

• This method is the fastest but also the least desirable.
• Grinding cabbage in a blender releases a lot of juice, which can make it watery.
• Also, a blender can grind the kale to a puree, which is not always suitable for recipes.
