By the way, I have many questions about the Julienne cut which I often use with noodle dishes. Thinly sliced veggies mix well with noodles. The only thing is that it's a bit time consuming 😰So what do I do? I have been using this amazing and inexpensive little tool for years! I highly recommend it to everyone.
