Dice 1.1 First make some horizontal cuts without cutting all the way through the onion. 1.2 Turn the onion 90 degrees and make some vertical cuts, again without cutting all the way through the onion. 1.3 Cut the onion as usual. 2. Mince Instead of cutting the garlic into smaller and smaller pieces, just mince it – roughly chop and repeat until you have fine pieces. 3. Chiffonade Instead of cutting each leaf one at a time or chopping it all over, put the leaves on top of each other, roll them up from the top, and then thinly slice. 4. Julienne 4.1 Cut a section from the carrot piece. Then place the carrot piece on the cut side to make it stable and then cut it into strips. 4.2 Stack these big strips and cut them into thinner ones. 5. Rolling Cut Instead of moving the knife differently with each cut, perform half a turn with the carrot, rolling it forward and back when cutting, so that the knife can always be held at the same angle. * * * * * One last tip: While it's important to know the proper chopping techniques, it's equally important to use a good knife, so it's worth investing in a sharp, high-quality knife. ****************************************************** Do you want to see more content like this?
