Fried food has become one of the people's favorite snacks. Not only is it liked because it tastes savory and crunchy, but also because of the variety of basic ingredients or fillings. Most fried foods are usually made with basic vegetables such as carrots, cabbage, bean sprouts, and spinach. The use of these vegetables not only adds flavor , but also a complex texture to fried foods.
Using vegetables as a base or filling for fried foods provides double benefits. In addition to improving texture and taste, vegetables are also rich in vitamins, fiber, and minerals that are good for the body. For example, carrots with high vitamin A content, or spinach that is rich in iron, make fried foods not just ordinary snacks, but also snacks that have nutritional value. Innovation in the use of vegetables makes fried foods more varied and can be enjoyed by many people.
Well, when it is about to be used, most people usually mix various vegetables first. However, instead of mixing one by one vegetable mixture for many types of fried foods, you can make one mixture that can be used for filling various fried foods. This vegetable mixture was once used by a netizen with the Instagram account @sasaka.donut through one of the videos uploaded.

As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @sasaka.donut on Wednesday (10/16), the vegetable ingredients that can be used are cabbage, carrots, spring onions, and bean sprouts. All of these ingredients can be washed first. For the cabbage, you can slice it thinly lengthwise. Then peel and grate the carrots, then put them in a container. Next, slice the spring onions and set aside. After that, wash the bean sprouts that you want to use as well.

Well, the trick is, all these vegetables must be fried briefly to make them taste more savory and sweet. But please note that the cabbage must be fried separately. So, put the cabbage in a wide stainless steel strainer. Then dip the strainer briefly into hot oil. After that, stir the cabbage, dip it again, and drain.

Do the same process for carrots, spring onions, and bean sprouts. However, in the video, Instagram user @sasaka.donut mixes these three ingredients together in a strainer. The method is the same, namely by dipping the strainer into hot oil. Then stir and dip again, then drain.

Next, all the vegetables can be mixed together in a large bowl. Then season with flavorings, such as powdered broth, salt, or pepper. After that, stir all the ingredients until mixed together. That way, this vegetable mixture can be used immediately. If you want to use it for spring roll and tofu filling, you can use it directly. However, if you want to use it for fritters, you can mix it again with flour mixture. Only then are all these fried foods ready to be fried.
