Today we move on to Diagonal and Bias cuts, taken from our free Knife Skills eBook ... Happy Monday!
-----------------------------------------------------------
This cut is often used to prepare vegetables for stir-fry and other Asian-style dishes because it exposes a greater surface area and shortens cooking time.
-
Place the peeled or trimmed vegetable on the work surface.
-
Hold the blade so that it is cutting through the food on an angle; the wider the angle, the more elongated the cut surface will be.
-
Continue making parallel cuts, adjusting the angle of the blade so that all the pieces are approximately the same size.
