VIDEO: Two ways to julienne carrots

Photo: The Splendid Table Cooks with Francis Lam

Julienning carrots just means cutting them into really thin matchsticks. Julienning is one of my least favorite cuts to do, but I was taught an ancient Chinese secret. I'll show you the French way I was taught, and then the better way.

[Ed. note: Try it out with Carrot Napa Cabbage Kimchee.]
