A local friend keeps recommending cooking videos. I like the ones where the spatulas and so forth are slightly anthropomorphized, but not fully so. And where things look like they should be fairly simple and easy because there aren't a lot of tools or space involved (even if they don't happen to be quite the tools or space I have.)

This is a recipe for a cabbage pancake impersonating pizza.

As I don't eat cheese, I'm never going to make it. But I do like cabbage, and I have never been able to produce shredded cabbage anything like that easily. With a vegetable peeler? Really? Is it the vegetable peeler that's magic, or did they speed up the video or is it just one of those things that only looks easy if you've done it ten million times?

They also rinse the shredded cabbage in several changes of water, and dry it before sauteeing. Do any of you know if this is to remove bugs? Dirt? Salmonella? I thought it was sufficient to wash the outer leaves, but I may be living dangerously in these parlous times. Does it improve the texture?
