In a microwave oven, you can not only reheat or defrost food, but also prepare a wide variety of dishes. For example, fish cooked in this way becomes softer, more tender and aromatic.

Disassemble the cabbage into individual leaves and rinse them thoroughly. Then put 12 leaves in a glass saucepan, salt and add 100 ml of clean water. Close the container with a lid, place in the microwave and cook for 5 minutes at 70% power. As soon as the allotted time is over, remove the cabbage leaves and dry them.
