Brilio.net - Frying food is one of the most popular cooking techniques. This method involves using hot oil to cook food until it reaches a crispy texture and savory taste. Various types of food, from chicken, fish, to vegetables, can be processed in this way.
But even though it can produce a crispy and fast-cooking food texture, frying can also have other impacts. Usually, food fried in oil has a higher calorie content. On the other hand, consuming high-calorie foods can have a negative impact on health.
Instead, many people then choose to use other techniques. For example, using non-stick cookware or using water when frying food. In addition, you can also use the technique used by Instagram user @ummubalqishaura when frying food.
Through one of the videos uploaded, this woman named Ummu admitted to having a special trick when frying eggplant so that it doesn't stick. Not with oil or water, she relies on one type of fruit. Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @ummubalqishaura on Saturday (11/9), the fruit in question is cucumber.

Well, how to use it is quite easy. Take a teflon or frying pan, then rub the surface of the teflon using the cucumber slices. Well, this layer of cucumber will make the teflon less sticky. In addition, cucumber also makes fried food odorless and fresher.
"Cucumbers contain about 95% water. When the cucumber is heated, this water evaporates and creates a thin layer of steam between the egg and the surface of the pan. This steam acts as a natural lubricant that prevents the egg from sticking," Ummu explained further.

After being coated with cucumber, immediately fry the eggs in a teflon pan and add a pinch of salt. Then fry as usual. When the bottom is cooked, lift and flip the eggs. When flipped, the eggs will be easier to lift because they are not sticky. At this stage, continue cooking the eggs until cooked.
