- [Usage Secret]
- [Liangban (Cold Dish) Secret] When making green papaya salad or tossed cucumber, shave veg long and thin with this tool. Creates finer surface irregularities than knife-cutting, letting sweet/sour sauce or garlic soy cling amazingly well.
- [Radish Cake Prep] When making radish cake, shave massive daikon instantly with this, squeeze moisture, and mix with rice flour. Taiwan mom's essential time-saver.

Trivia
[For Everyone] You might wonder 'Why are veg cut so beautifully thin?' at Taiwanese Xiaochi shops; actually, they all use this peeler, not knives. Thai Som Tum (green papaya salad) is hugely popular in Taiwan night markets too, so you often see stall aunties shaving giant papayas at high speed with this.
