@secretaustinman yeah it's probably the knife. Both carrots and stringbeans just keep rolling. It feels weird holding the knife and slicing it this way but I'll get used to it. Thanks Chef Austin! it really helps me :)

@secretaustinman: Thank you for teaching us how to use a knife correctly when chopping food. Coming from an Asian culture, I usually let the women cook for me. LOL. Nowadays, I do all the cooking since I'm a single Asian man. When I find my dream Asian girl, I will definitely help her out with cooking and other household chores.

I see why you used mushrooms...it's because they're soft and easy to cut haha I'm cutting string beans and carrots as I comment and watch this video at the same time......and it is hard ( ~.~)

@pinoyALLmotorEVOIXMR Hopefully you have a sharp knife! For the carrots, hold the knife with the proper grip and saw down with your whole forearm not just your hand/wrist for nice circles. If you just want to chop them up easy, cut the carrot once lengthwise so you have two long halves that sit flat on the cutting board! For the stringbeans, you can angle your arm so the point is on the cutting board and then bring the blade down repeatedly on the beans like a paper-cutter. Hope that helps!

P.P.S. Some tips on mushrooms - make sure to wash off any dirt on the caps; don't worry about the old saying about mushrooms absorbing water - Alton Brown debunked this on the Food Network show "Good Eats." Also, store mushrooms in a paper bag (they'll slowly dry out), not in the plastic container they came in (they'll quickly get all slimy and gross).

P.S. Note on terminology: "Chopping" just means "cutting up." When I say I'm cutting something into "a chop," I generally really mean "a dice" = smallish cubes, as opposed to "a mince" = tiny pieces.
