Then proceed from there. That's a lot easier than trying to make the horizontal cuts while holding the onion down with your palm, which actually squeezes the knife blade between the slices, causing the blade to drag and making it harder to do the cut and also making it easier to slip or cut too far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348993349355406032.post-32381789364092846062011-12-08T10:18:19.426-05:002011-12-08T10:18:19.426-05:00Love this post!

I've seen TV cooking shows and my friends cutting onions here in the US, but none of them dice like this! This is one of the first lesson we learn in our mandatory home & economic class in Japanese middle school. I'm just happy school is teaching the right method and I still use it. =)Nami | Just One Cookbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104033889937635168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348993349355406032.post-64914615308387706522011-10-29T15:31:08.202-04:002011-10-29T15:31:08.202-04:00Wonderful tutorial! thanks for sharing.Wonderful tutorial! thanks for sharing.Bubbe Biteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263599459026161950noreply@blogger.com
