Meanwhile, cut 10 large whole leaves off cabbage head and cook leaves in boiling water just until softened and pliable(about 5 minutes). Set aside eight large leaves for rolls (the two extra are just in case a leaf tears). Cut out the thick vein from each leaf, making a V-shape cut. Overlap the cut ends before filling.
