Frying fish can be a big challenge for many people. Not only does it make the kitchen dirty, frying fish often produces hot oil splashes and can also cause burns to the skin. Many people feel anxious every time they have to fry fish, so they look for various ways to reduce or even avoid the splashes.
The main cause of oil splashes when frying fish is the water content on the surface of the fish. When water meets hot oil, a reaction occurs that causes the oil to explode and splash. Therefore, ensuring that the fish is dry before frying is the first step that can be taken.
Using kitchen paper towels to absorb excess water on the fish can greatly help reduce oil splashes. In addition to ensuring that the fish is dry, some people sometimes also add other ingredients such as flour or ginger to the oil. Both of these ingredients are considered to be able to absorb moisture in the fish, thus minimizing oil splashes. Therefore, these two ingredients are often relied on.
But besides using flour or ginger, you can also rely on other ingredients, you know. A TikTok user @ummu_balqis_haura once shared a way to reduce oil splashes when frying fish using one kitchen ingredient . As reported by BrilioFood on Monday (30/9), the kitchen ingredient in question is lime.
Once it's calm like that, immediately put in the fish to be fried. After that, fry as usual until cooked. According to TikTok user @ummu_balqis_haura, lime juice can reduce oil splashes when frying fish because of its acid content. "The acid content of lime helps remove excess water which causes explosions when water mixes with hot oil," explained TikTok @ummu_balqis_haura.
