You're supposed to freeze the cabbage first right?
Do I check it before or after freezing? Meaning, will the leaves be easier to pull apart without breaking after freezing?

But you need to freeze it for like 24 hours. That's why some ppl prefer to boil it.
However I don't know when to check if boiling

Not a problem. Planning to do it on Sunday, so will freeze over Shabbos.
Is it necessary to cut out the rib from each leaf before filling?

That I'm not sure. I just remember my mom telling me it's either freeze or boil.... I can ask
I'm not sure which part of the leaf is the rib....

I don't think you have to because I have eaten plenty of stuffed cabbage with that part in the middle.
Just make sure it gets cooked soft enough to cut.

I find that it takes at least 24 hours to defrost

I first tried both ways (freezing vs boiling) years ago and have always stuck with boiling since. The freezing to me gave a worse texture, and in the end didn't really save time or effort. Even with a pot thats not quite big enough. Just partially core the end of the cabbage (after removing outer layers), cover with water, and bring to a boil. If its not totally covered its fine. you can move it around, and start taking off outer layers with tongs while it continues to soften inside. Pile them up to cool as you go. Meanwhile you can be making the sauce. When its cool enough to handle, and you have the meat/rice mix ready, lay a leaf on your plate with the raised ridge in the middle up. That's the rib. Just shave it off so its not raised but you didnt cut it out completely or the leaf would break.

When do you check it, though?

The star k says to freeze and then check with thrip method and gives directions in how to do it. Crc says to remove the first four outer leaves and then to rinse the rest of the leaves individually under rubbing water on the front and the back. Ok says to soak and check water for bugs and goes through it step by step. Ou says something else. Best to call your Rav and ask!

Make sure to peel the leaves off from the bottom so they don't rip
