🔪 How to
1
First cut it into thin slices
2
Stack the slices, shifting each one a little
3
Cut from the end at the same width
💡 Why cut it this way
- Same thickness means it cooks evenly in a stir-fry
- The strips mix together, so you get everything in one bite
⚠️ Be careful
- Curl the fingertips of your holding hand slightly inward and keep them away from the blade
- After cutting raw meat or fish, wash your hands, knife and board with dish soap before cutting anything else
