Steps
- The round cut is a common slicing method for round vegetables such as cucumber, carrot, lotus root, eggplant, and daikon radish.
- Once you place the vegetable on the cutting board, gently hold it down with your left hand to prevent it from rolling while cutting.
- Slice from the end to your desired thickness.
- When slicing cucumber into rounds, it is often done thinly.
- At this time, if you insert the knife straight down, the cucumber may roll, or the cut pieces may fall towards you, making it difficult to cut.
- To prevent this as much as possible, instead of inserting the knife perpendicular to the cucumber, tilt the knife slightly to the right and cut at a slight angle. [This is the key!] By angling the knife, the cut pieces are more likely to fall to the right, and since they are not perfect circles, they become less likely to roll.
- This completes the round cut of the cucumber.
