Steps
- Cut vegetables (carrots, cucumbers, eggplants, etc.) in half lengthwise.
- Place the halved vegetables cut-side down on the cutting board.
- Slice into half-moons from one end to your desired thickness.
- Cut thinner vegetables (like cucumbers) in half lengthwise.
- Place two halved cucumbers cut-side down on the cutting board.
- Slice the aligned cucumbers together from one end into half-moons.
- Angle your knife slightly to the right rather than holding it perpendicular to the vegetable. This is the key! The cut vegetables will tend to fall to the right, making them easier to cut without falling to the left.
