Frying fish, chicken, or fries can be a scary experience for other people, especially for first-timers. The oil splash from frying can sometimes burn someone’s skin. Some people even try to find an alternative to save themselves from the oil splash, such as using a pan as a “shield” from the splash.

But do you know that you can use one of the most common cooking materials as a way to prevent the cooking oil from splashing? Take a guess what it is. It’s ‘asam keping’, also known as tamarind slice in English.
