Allow the excess water to drain, and then divide each half of the cabbage lengthwise into another half. Take 1/4 head and smear each cabbage leaf with the prepared paste, fold in half and put in a container.
Do not fill the container to the brimwhen the container is full, press the cabbage several times to let the air out and close the lid tightly.
