According to information from The Health Site, eggs can increase HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) levels and prevent the accumulation of LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol), helping reduce the risk of many cardiovascular diseases.

How to fry eggs fluffy and tender

Among the dishes made from eggs, fried eggs are always more popular. This is because it is quick, simple, and easy to eat. With just 2 to 3 eggs and a few spices, you can enjoy a delicious meal in 5 minutes.

This egg dish can be well paired with bread, white rice, or sticky rice. However, to have a soft and fluffy fried egg, bigger than normal, you can apply one of the following methods:

Water

Before frying, you just need to add 1-2 tablespoons of water to the mixture of 2 eggs and beat well. This will create a product with a noticeable difference.

The addition of water helps the molecules in the eggs to expand, resulting in a softer and larger egg dish compared to the usual frying method. Don’t worry about the amount of water, most of it will evaporate during the frying process, making the egg dish softer and smoother.

Lemon juice

Adding 2-3 drops of lemon juice to the egg mixture before beating is also a little-known but handy trick. Lemon juice helps the eggs have a soft, delicious, and visually appealing golden color after frying.

Baking powder

You can add 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder to 2 beaten eggs and stir well. This will make the egg dish softer and it can expand twice as much as regular fried eggs. Note that you should heat the oil before pouring the eggs into the pan and maintain high heat to make the eggs expand.

Butter

To enhance the flavor and size of fried eggs, you can add a small piece of butter and beat well. When the butter melts in the egg mixture, it creates a “cushion” between the protein molecules. This makes the egg dish more fragrant and much softer because the egg proteins do not stick together.

In addition to the usual frying method, you can also add other ingredients to the eggs to create a more diverse and nutritious egg dish, such as shredded straw mushrooms or minced meat.
