Tips:

When cutting vegetables, your feet should stand firmly and naturally, keeping an appropriate distance from the chopping board. Lean your upper body slightly forward, straighten your chest slightly, do not bend your waist or arch your back, and keep your eyes on the part of the platform where your hands are operating. When holding the knife with your right hand, pinch the knife hoop with your thumb and index finger and fully grasp the handle. The left-hand control principle makes the material stable and non-slip, making it easier to cut. Your wrist should be flexible and strong when holding the knife. The placement of the vegetable mound should be suitable for its own height.
