Kind tips:

1. When stir-frying white lentils, do not add oil to the pan first. Use a dry pan to stir-fry continuously over low heat. After the water vapor is gone, add a little oil. This saves oil than deep-frying, and it is not easy to explode due to the reduction of water during frying.

2. If you stir-fry with sauce, you don't need to add salt. If you like to eat garlic, you can also add an appropriate amount of minced garlic when the lentils are out of the pot, which tastes good and can prevent gastrointestinal diseases in summer.
