Failure is often an inseparable part of the learning process. This is no exception when learning to cook . Moments of failure, such as the soup being too salty, the cake burning, or the rice still being hard, are common experiences experienced by almost everyone when they are just learning to cook.
However, failure in cooking can also be a valuable lesson, as experienced by a TikTok netizen. Through one of the uploaded videos, the gentlemen who own the TikTok account @cak.waras.asli once shared a moment when his wife was learning to cook. More precisely, the wife wanted to cook corn omelette . However, instead of being happy, the TikTok user actually laughed when he found the fried corn omelette.
"Learning to make corn omelettes is still AMBYARR," said TikTok user @cak.waras.asli, reported by BrilioFood on Monday (22/7).

In the first second of the video, you can see a frying pan containing oil mixed with food ingredients. After investigating, the food ingredient mixed with the oil is corn omelette dough. Well, this corn omelette mixture really melts into the oil and can't be turned over. "The intention was to make corn omelettes, guys. The mixture was right, just too much oil. Instead it turned into fried corn," explained the husband while laughing. After seeing the results of the corn omelette which was completely destroyed, TikTok user @cak.waras.asli then provided further explanation about tips for frying corn omelette. He admitted that he used too much oil, so the dough immediately fell apart.

The wife immediately drained the corn mixed with the oil. Learning from the mistake, he then reduced the amount of oil in the wok. Only then did he slowly pour the corn omelette mixture back in. "Well, put it on the edges here (of the frying pan), don't put it directly in the middle or it will fall apart. It's like making peanut brittle, you know, put it on the side," explained TikTok user @cak.waras.asli.

The wife also immediately implemented her husband's words by pouring the mixture on the edge of the pan. After that, he continued to fry the corn omelette until it was solid, drizzling with oil occasionally. Once it was solid, he turned the corn omelette over and then fried it until cooked. Compared to before, the corn omelette produced is now really dense and beautiful. Different from previously fried corn omelettes which crumbled. However, the husband still appreciated the results of his wife's cooking by eating the ambyar corn. "Actually it tastes good, but the shape is, you know, I want to cry," he said.

Apart from corn omelette, the netizen also learned to cook another menu, namely clear vegetables. However, unlike corn omelette, cooked clear vegetables actually look fresh and appetizing. The contents looked complete because there was corn, gourd and spinach. Makes your appetite increase, right?
