We all love dry vegetables like mixed veggies or cauliflower-potato stir-fry. To make these dishes flavorful, we often use a good amount of oil. But sometimes, we end up with too much oil, which makes the dish look messy and is unhealthy. If you’ve got too much oil in your dry vegetables, here’s a simple trick to fix it. Don’t panic if your dry vegetable dish has too much oil. Once the vegetables are cooked, simply push them to one side of the pan and place a clean steel bowl in the center. Cover the pan and cook for two minutes. Then, turn off the heat and serve.
The bowl will absorb most of the oil, leaving it concentrated around the bowl. Leave the bowl in place and serve from the sides. This way, the oil won’t end up on your plate, and your dish will be perfectly oil-free and delicious. For future reference, try pre-cooking your vegetables without water in a pressure cooker or by blanching them in water. This will help prevent them from absorbing too much oil when you sauté them with spices.
