Yeah. Now see, I only salted and drained my cabbage for 1 hour. I then
washed, soaked, and rinsed for 15 mins, finally drying with my lettuce
spinner. End result, leathery, very salty cabbage. It was terrible.

I can now understand why places like bubba-Q joints typically serve a
dry-ish shredded cabbage that has dressing applied just before serving.
