Learn how to cut mushrooms in four different ways with this easy step-by-step guide. The hearty flavor and texture makes them a perfect addition to stir-fries, soups, sauces, and more!
Option 1 - Quartered: Place the mushroom stem side down on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice it in half. Rotate the mushroom 90 degrees, then slice it in half again.
Option 2 - Sliced: Place the mushroom stem side down on your cutting board. Hold the mushroom in place with your non-dominant hand, making sure to press your knuckles towards the knife to protect your fingers. Slice the mushroom as thick or thin as you’d like, continuously edging your knuckle away from the knife as it moves closer.
Option 3 - Cubed: Place a stemmed mushroom on its side. Slice it in half, but not all the way through. Rotate it so that the stem side is facing down again. Slice it into 1/4-inch thick sections, making sure to not go all the way to the edge. Rotate the mushroom 90 degrees, then chop the sections into cubes. Finish cubing the end piece, then repeat with the rest of the mushrooms.
Option 4 - Diced: Start by slicing the mushroom as laid out in option 2. Without moving the sliced mushroom, cut it into matchsticks. Rotate your cutting board or knife 90 degrees, then dice the mushroom matchsticks into small pieces.
