Do you think the art of cooking is difficult? Don't worry — if you know a few creative tips, cooking can truly become light and enjoyable. Here are some tips on what to do and what to avoid so you can cook any dish like a true artist.
(1) Slice onions without crying
Are you tired of crying every time you slice onions? A very simple tip is to bite on a piece of bread while cutting. This is because bread can absorb the moisture released from the onion.
(2) Peeling fruits with skins easily
For fruits like apples that have thin skins and need to be peeled without taking off the flesh, you don't need a peeler. All you need is ice water — just soak the fruit you want to peel for about five minutes, and you can peel it easily.
(3) Slicing boiled eggs without the yolk sticking to the knife
It's quite annoying when the yolk sticks to the knife while slicing boiled eggs. To avoid this, chill the knife (or spoon) you'll use to cut the egg in the freezer first. Then, no matter how you slice it, the yolk won't stick.
(4) Adding fragrant spices to make your rice taste delicious
If you want your spices to be more fragrant than usual, you should first heat them to release their natural oils and aromas. This will create a wonderful scent and truly make your meal taste more delicious with its enticing aroma.
(5) Keeping acidic fruits like tomatoes from losing their flavor
In Myanmar dishes served at the dining table, after onions, tomatoes are the most important ingredient. When it comes to acidic fruits like tomatoes, one thing to avoid is putting them in the refrigerator. This is because the cold can diminish the fruit's natural aroma and flavor.
