Instructions
Step 1
You can cut the pepper into strips in various ways. With a knife, with a vegetable cutter, shredder and other machines for processing vegetables. The most affordable way to make straws is slicing with a knife. Better to use an everyday knife with a well-sharpened blade. Be aware of safety when using a cutter.
Step 2
Before starting work, the vegetables should be rinsed in running warm water. If you wish, you can use laundry soap or a special liquid for washing vegetables. Next, leave the peppers for a while, let excess liquid drain from them. Wipe the peppers dry with a tea towel.
Step 3
Then organize your workspace, prepare a comfortable cutting board, place it on your workbench. Choose a deep bowl that is suitable for the size of the vegetables. Before slicing, the pepper must be processed, i.e. get rid of unnecessary parts. To do this, use a sharp knife to remove the tail of each fruit (peduncle). Place each cut vegetable in a bowl.
Step 4
Arrange the peppers, one at a time, horizontally on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut off a small portion of the pepper opposite the cut end. Process all fruits in this way. While placing the peppers one at a time on a cutting board in an upright position, make an incision on one side. Turn the vegetable over, using a vegetable peeler, remove the seeds and the partition that is inside. This procedure can also be performed with an ordinary kitchen knife. Rinse the semi-finished products in cool water, blot excess moisture with a napkin.
Step 5
Unroll the peeled peppers and place them on a cutting board with the inside facing up. Start slicing into strips, determining the thickness and length for yourself. For shorter straws, divide each chunk of pepper in half or in multiples. Try to cut evenly so that the straws are visually the same.
Step 6
For quick and high-quality production of pepper strips, you can use special tools. For example, a vegetable shredder. Certain replacement knives for making straws must be sharp, made of good steel, this is a guarantee of quality cutting. Most of these machines can be adjusted to different sizes of slices. To use the grinding devices correctly, you must first study the instructions for use.
