Brilio.net - It is common knowledge that eggs are a mainstay side dish, especially at the end of the month. Not only are the prices affordable, eggs also taste delicious, so many people love this food. Usually, eggs are cooked into an omelet to be eaten with warm rice, chili sauce or other side dishes (complements).
Almost everyone agrees that an omelet will be tastier if the texture is crispy and curly. However, many people still fail when trying to make it, because it requires special techniques to cook this menu. One of the tricks was shared by the user of the @representatif account on social media X.
This netizen who is familiarly called Baskoro explained that so that the texture can be crispy when fried, the eggs need to be filled with water. So, break and put the egg in a bowl first, then mix it with enough boiled water, and beat until smooth and frothy.
"My assumption is this...
So that the omelet can be crispy, the protein density must be reduced.
"To reduce it, it needs to be shaken with water, it's even better if it foams because it's no longer dense," he explained, quoted by BrilioFood from X @representatif on Sunday (23/6).

Giving water will remove the egg protein, right?
So, are you curious whether the process of cooking crispy eggs will also eliminate the protein nutrition? This was also questioned by one of the netizens in the comments column of Baskoro's upload on X @representatif. After investigating, the answer is, the protein in the crispy omelet won't disappear, you know.

Reporting from nature.com, the process of changing the protein structure, as occurs in crispy fried eggs, namely the egg protein is no longer dense, is known as denaturation. Denaturing the protein in eggs will not eliminate nutrients, especially protein, but only change the structure or shape.
The denaturation process also occurs in eggs cooked using other techniques, whether boiled, steamed, etc.
So, after the egg mixture mixed with water has been beaten until foamy, then fry it in a pan filled with hot oil. The owner of the account
Besides that, really hot oil won't easily absorb too much into the eggs, you know. So, your fried crispy eggs won't contain a lot of oil.

Once the crispy eggs are cooked, they can be removed and drained. The owner of the account

Another netizen on the X @kemkoming account also explained other interesting things about the concept of making crispy omelettes. According to him, the concept is similar to making Kremesan where the dough contains water, so it can be super crispy when fried.
