Crunchy Fried Omena #4WkChallenge
In recipes I have, a lot of oil is usually used such that It was more of 'deep frying'.
I thought that was necessary to get the omena crunchy. I have since realized you can vastly reduce the oil n extend cooking time to get the same crunch

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Sort the Omena then Wash with Hot water. Instead of pouring out the water when done, use a slotted spoon to pick out the omena. Fine dust n sand will remain in the water.
- 2
Put oil into your pan together with onions.Cook til they become translucent.
- 3
Chop pepper, Finely grate ginger n garlic. Add to oil
- 4
Once their essence has infused into the oil n onion, add your omena. Reduce heat and begin to stir.
- 5
Keep stirring. If the oil reduces completely before omena is dry, you can add a tablespoon or two. NOTE that because of the garlic, the omena might stick onto the pan. Just carefully scrap off from the bottom.
- 6
Keep stirring until dry to your taste. I like mine super crunchy. So the whole stirring business takes up to 20mins. You may need more if your omena was very fresh n therefore, wetter.
- 7
Let cool, garnish n serve.
