Great Video on How To Shred Cabbage
 
I learned a lot from this short video. Thought I would share it for those that make a lot of cole slaw or sauerkraut.

Isn't this how everyone slices cabbage? I don't think I was ever taught anything but this way, unless you have a machine slicer or cabbage slicer.

Nice video, now I need to know what Hiroshima-Style Okonomiyaka is.

I never sliced cabbage this way and always hated the task. I would slice down the face, not the point. Never occurred to me to turn the cabbage and slice as he shows.

I actually enjoy slicing it now.

Okonomiyaki is what I call Japanese pizza. I used to love them while growing up in Japan. I still crave for them here and there's at least one joint here in LA that specializes in them.

The entire recipe is on you tube by the same chef but isn't in English as I remember. Still worth a look and is on my to-do list.

They stole that technique from my grandmother, she used that method before I started school, which puts the time in the late 50's.

I wish my mother would have watched your grandmother slice cabbage. Sure would have saved me a lot of frustration over the years. :mrgreen:

He makes it look easy....

I opted out and bought a slicer last year as I make a lot of sauerkraut and coleslaw. Was listed at $139.00 on The Sausage Maker website, but bought it for $99.00 at wisementrading.com.

It sure does make life easy. I can make 30 pounds in minutes without any effort. I love homemade sauerkraut and Kimchi

So it looks like I am about the only one on here who has been doing it wrong for oh so many years. :redface:

I think I have been doing it wrong too, so you are not alone.
I don't slice that much cabbage, but it's good to know there's a "right" way.

Hmm , never did the the !80* turn ..Looks like a magic trick on the video ( three card monty /cabbage ) .. Thanks..
Back in the day , in high school, I had a part time job as a prep cook /bottle washer .
I chopped / shredded cabbage heads by the case .

Today , when I make coleslaw for bbq , I really do not like cutting up the cabbage .. Although, I enjoy eating good coleslaw ..

It results in a coarser textured slaw which those raised on machine-made slaw do not care for.

Good point. I don't care for machine-made since I was raised on hand cut.
