Ingredients

▢ 1 Ginger
▢ 1 Onion

Instructions

Preparing The Onion:

Slice the onion in half before using your finger to peel off the skin.
After peeling off the skin, don’t cut off the root yet to prevent the onion from releasing the chemicals that make your eyes cry.
Hold the onion at the root and start cutting it vertically without slicing all the way through the onion. Then, curl your hand around the halved onion to cut it horizontally.
Finally, use three of your fingers to hold the onion in place, with the middle finger’s knuckle sticking out slightly to control the knife. This slight change helps prevent the knife from cutting your fingers.

Preparing The Ginger:

Use a spoon or a knife to scrape off the ginger peel.
Cut the peeled ginger into thin slices before julienning them.
Use the thin strips of ginger to mince them into smaller ginger pieces.

Notes

Make sure to use a durable chopping board to prevent small particles from mixing with the minced ingredients.
Place a towel or a piece of cloth under the chopping board so it doesn’t slip while preparing the ingredients.
Ideally, you don’t want to cut off the onion root too early to prevent yourself from crying.
