Cooking Instructions
- 1
Hold the hard part of the lettuce leaf (the paler, thicker side) with your non-dominant hand. Pull it in the same direction as the veins, and it should tear perpendicular to them.

[How to tear the lettuce to make it taste 10 times better] Break the lettuce leaf apart by pulling it straight outwards in opposite directions. Do not tear it like you would tear a piece of paper.
- 3
This is how normal people tear the lettuce, but it's not the right way. This way leaves a thin membrane shown in the Step 4 picture.
- 4
If a thin membrane on the surface is left behind it will make the rest of the lettuce leaf taste bad.
- 5
Now you can make your usual lettuce 10 times more delicious. Enjoy salads with lettuce that's a lot tastier.

How to Remove Cabbage Leaves without Damaging Them How to Remove Cabbage Leaves without Damaging Them
I consulted a cookery book a long time ago to make just several stuffed cabbage rolls. According to it, I had to boil a whole cabbage in a pot. It was too much and I just wanted to use several leaves. It is difficult to remove cabbage leaves without tearing before boiling. Since I thought of this method, I have always been successful.Use a small knife to cut out the hard center core. The leftover cabbage will freshen up because of the water! This is another good point of this method. If a metal blade touches the cut surface of a lettuce, it will discolour. Use a ceramic knife or your hand to cut the leaves from the center core.
