Again, start by taking half of a peeled onion
This time cut the root off but cutting 2-3 cm away from it.
Then proceed to slice through the onion as such; horizontally as opposed to vertically. You’ll notice i’m resting the blade on my finger tip rather than my knuckles, this is only through cutting so many onions but i would advise to still rest the blade on your knuckles.
This results in strand of onion that are straighter than when you cut it lengthwise. If you want shorter strands just cut the onion in half once lengthways before slicing into strips.
I personally prefer this method of slicing as the onion cooks quicker because it’s in smaller pieces, I also prefer to cut it quite finely this way when putting raw onion in a salad/sandwich as I find it looks a bit nicer and it’s a lot more pleasant than chewing on a chunky lengthways slice of onion, to each their own though.
