"Dream - Crispy fried shallots often serve as a delicious complement to various dishes such as fried rice, porridge, soup, and many more. The aroma and crunchiness can enhance the flavor of the food. Frying shallots to make them crispy and long-lasting actually has its own tricks. Although simple, this process requires special attention to achieve the best results. Here are some tips that you can try at home to keep your homemade fried shallots crispy and not easily soggy."

1. Pilih Bawang Merah Berkualitas

"1. Choose Quality Red Onions"

"Make sure to choose fresh red onions that are of similar size. Fresh onions usually have enough moisture content, so when fried, they can produce a crispy texture. Avoid onions that are damaged or defective as they can affect the final result of the fried dish."

"2. Thin and Uniform Iris"

"Iris the red onion as thin and uniform as possible. Use a sharp knife or a special slicing tool to ensure consistent results. Thin slices will cook faster and yield perfect crispiness. Avoid slices that are too thick as they can make the onion not crispy when fried."

               

"3. Soak in Salt Water"

"After slicing, soak the red onions in salt water for 10-15 minutes. This step helps reduce the moisture content in the onions, making them dry and crispy faster when fried. In addition, the saltwater soak also adds a savory flavor to the fried onions."

               

"4. Drain and Dry"

"After soaking, drain the shallots and dry them using a tissue or clean cloth. Make sure the shallots are completely dry before frying to avoid oil splatters and ensure a crispy result."

"5. Sprinkle Salt"

Another way to produce crispy fried shallots is by sprinkling salt after slicing. Mix enough salt with the sliced shallots, then let it air for 15-20 minutes before frying. This will help maintain the crunchiness of the fried shallots for a longer time.

               
6. Lumuri dengan Tepung Terigu

"6. Coat with Wheat Flour"

"To achieve a crispier texture, you can coat the onion slices with flour before frying. This flour will help maintain the crunchiness of the onions after frying."

"7. Fry with Sufficient and Hot Oil"

"Make sure to use enough oil so that the onions are fully submerged. Heat the oil to a temperature of around 160-170°C. Fry the onions in hot oil over medium heat to avoid burning and to ensure maximum crispiness."

               

"8. Fry in Stages"

"Avoid frying too many onions at once. Fry in small batches gradually so that the oil temperature remains stable and the onions cook evenly. Source: Diadona.id"
