  1. Make slits in cabbage base or cut out entire core. Fill a large saucepan 1/3 full of water; bring to a boil. Cook whole cabbage in boiling water, turning occasionally, until softened, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and cool. Cut cabbage leaves off cabbage one by one, trying to keep them intact. Cut out any tough, thick center ribs of the large leaves with a sharp knife.

  2. Bring 1 1/2 cups water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
