Japanese cooking sometimes decorate vegetables into pretty shapes, here is how to cut plum flower shaped carrot slices with cookie cutter.
This is my quick method.
1. Slice carrot.
2. Cut out the carrot slices into plum flower shape.
3. Cut out the “V” shape.
4. Right side and left side.
5. Repeat this process for the opposite side and done!
6. Mince the leftover carrot and use it for cooking Spaghetti Meat Sauce or Fried Rice.
Would a veggie peeler work for the details instead of the knife? I don’t know how i do it but i always cut myself. Lol!
This one is a bit tricky to make, and you will need a sharp knife to be able to cut precisely (a dull knife can be more dangerous) and vegetable peeler won’t be able to create such fine shape… 🙂
[…] but you can cut out the carrot slice into flower shape by using a vegetable cutter or use "Nejiri Ume" Japanese cutting […]
