I used to use a method of diagonally slicing the leek and then mincing from there, but...for some reason that was pretty difficult for me. (lol). So I thought, wouldn't it be easiest to just push the knife into the leek to make the cuts? And when I tried it, it was so easy! I uploaded this so that I could teach to my kids.

Please absolutely make sure to hold the edge of the blade away from your other hand! It's dangerous. A knife with a small blade will probably be easier to handle. You can mince the leek into any size that you want. For as much as you need. Recipe by Nao mama
