Brilio.net - Enjoying delicious food is certainly a joy for many people. However, being able to process food practically and concisely will add to the enjoyment of eating it. Because with practical cooking, you don't need to waste energy and a long time before enjoying the results of the cooking.

Well, one practical cooking method is stir-frying. This cooking technique usually only requires a little oil and is done quickly. Just mix the prepared ingredients together then add various spices, stir evenly. If so, the stir fry is ready to be served. There are many ingredients that can be stir-fried, such as petai for example.

Unfortunately, some people admit that they are reluctant to process petai into stir-fries because of the strong smell. Moreover, after consuming it, sometimes an unpleasant odor remains in the mouth. This can reduce self-confidence, right?

As a solution, petai can be boiled first for a few moments before finally being stir-fried with various spices. Apart from eliminating the smell, the boiling process also makes the petai texture soft. Even so, this makes the process of making stir-fried petai more complicated, right?

To get around this, you can imitate what YouTube user Mbah Putri Kr did. Not only recipes, he also shares a tutorial for making stir-fried petai which is delicious, has a soft texture, and doesn't make your mouth smelly even without going through the boiling process. Curious about how?

Reported by BrilioFood from Mbah Putri Kr's YouTube on Sunday (4/2), first peel the petai from the skin. If so, wash the petals thoroughly under running water. After that, drain the petai and put it in a bowl.

Instead of boiling it, this netizen admits that he has his own way to make the petai soft and the smell disappears. The method is to simply flush and soak the petai in boiling water for a few moments.

Give a little salt then stir. "Just leave it for 2 minutes, OK," said the video owner.

Once everything is sliced and the petai has been drained, saut all the ingredients in a frying pan. If it has been stir-fried for a while, don't forget to add various spices such as salt, stock powder and sweet soy sauce. Stir again.
