The trend-making ability of today’s youth cannot be denied, from “Instagrammable” places, trendy foods, popular eating places, to photo trends, now even cleaning tasks and kitchen hacks can become trends. Recently, a kitchen hack has suddenly become a hot trend that many young people are following, and that is how to clean chili sauce in the blink of an eye.

Previously, this kitchen hack had been shared and followed by many international netizens. It originated from the fact that wiping chili sauce can waste a lot of paper, and the wiping action can actually spread the sauce onto the table even more, so this kitchen hack was created. Recently, when a famous TikTok couple named Tra and Trọc performed it, it became a hot trend that attracted many TikTokers and users of TikTok in Vietnam.
To perform this trend, we will need a piece of paper (which can be tissue paper, candle paper…) and a thin and rigid object (most people use a cutting board, some even use a wooden cooking utensil). Then, fold the piece of paper in half onto the cutting board, with half of it holding it underneath and the other half held with your hand above. Next, forcefully move the cutting board towards the spilled chili sauce, while still firmly holding onto the paper. And, surprisingly, all of the sauce will end up neatly on the piece of paper like a magic trick.

It may seem simple, but not everyone can successfully follow the trend of cleaning chili sauce in their first attempt. There is evidence that some young people have shared that in order to catch the hot trend, they have also failed several times, smearing chili sauce all over… their phone. Or some opinions suggest that all the necessary elements must come together, such as choosing the right type of paper, the right utensil, and exerting the right amount of force when moving the cutting board, fast pulling with the hand…

However, many people believe that if you do this regularly and skillfully, it can truly be a useful kitchen hack that can be applied to cooking tasks, not just to follow trends.
