How to cut tofu without sticking to the knife:

1. Just cut it backwards. Generally, tofu is cut out in front of the knife, and a large piece of tofu is behind the knife. Now, in reverse, try a small piece behind the knife and a large piece in front of the knife. Hold the small piece by hand, so that the big piece is in front of the knife. Because the big piece is heavy, the knife can't be brought up, and the small piece is held down, so it won't stick to the knife.

2. Cut from left to right: Usually, the knife is held in the right hand, and it is cut from right to left, so that the newly cut tofu pieces are always stuck on the right side of the knife; Since the nature of tofu sticking knife can't be changed, we can only change our habits: hold the knife with our left hand, cut it from left to right, and hold the tofu with our right hand, and at the same time, we can block the cut small pieces so that the small pieces won't stick to the knife again.
