What Happens When You Fry Cucumbers: Here's What You Need to Mix Them With to Make It Tasty - and What the Chinese Have to Do With It
We are used to eating cucumbers fresh or pickled, but in China they... are fried.
Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking, a cook and a fourth-class baker from the online publication Belnovosti, tells us how to properly fry cucumbers and what to mix them with to make them tasty.
How to deliciously fry cucumbers
Cucumbers are fried using the stir-fry technique. This is quick frying in hot oil in a deep frying pan (wok).
The main rule is to constantly stir the cucumbers, without leaving them for even a minute.
Otherwise, you will get stewed cucumbers, not fried ones. The fire should be strong.
You can use either fresh or pickled cucumbers.
Before frying, cucumbers are cut into slices, seasoned with salt to release liquid, and squeezed thoroughly.
You can add garlic, dried chili flakes, pieces of chicken or pork, medium-hard tofu.
Earlier, the expert told what to add to minced meat for flavor.
