I just started learning how to cook. Mostly because I really like to cut and chop things. I find it therapeutic. I am also really into pumpkin carving. What foods involve a lot of satisfying cutting in their preparation?

Idk. Stir fries. Indian. I kind of hate cutting bell peppers because the seeds can get everywhere but i kind of like it because it's satisfying when they dont.

Push the core in with your thumb, then cut them in half like you would an avocado. Then you can take the whole core out. Then smack the back of it with the back of your knife and any seeds left inside should pop out.

Don't see how seeds wouldn't get on the knife and cutting board in the cutting in half step. Usually i pare out the core and wash out the remaining seeds in the sink before cutting the bottom out.

Mirepoix (Carrots, Celery, Onion) or the Holy Trinity (Carrots, Celery, Green Bell Pepper) in the case of Creole and Cajun cuisine + Potatoes are cheap to buy a lot of, become the foundation of many recipes when you use them, and are easy to practice cutting with.

Otherwise I also recommend Broccoli, especially when you turn whole heads into florets for roasting them and in salads.

Personally, the feeling of my knife smoothly sinking into a squash, zucchini, or cucumber because of their firm skin and watery interior is the most satisfying cut.

just cut the sides, like when you're peeling a potato. Don't put it sideways and cut it like a carrot. Dumbfriend.

Only works at a 0seed level with the absolute most stout symmetrical picturesque peppers.

You push the entire core in, then remove it as one piece.

I fucking hate prepping, but making tabolui with a knife is a shit ton of cutting

That would leave loose seeds on the inside of the flesh which then get on everything as you cut the pepper.
