I do it in the microwave, taking off the outer leaves as they soften,
filling them and then nuking the head aian and takign the outer leaves
off as they are now soft, filling them and etc, etc, etc, In the end, yu
have a still fairly firm little ball of cabbage to sherc and put around
the ball of stuffed cabbage to add ?.
