Cyndi Wang and Other Celebs Share Their Cooking Hacks, Including How to Cut Onions Without Crying and Make the Perfect Omu Rice

Chopping onions is a surefire way to cry. And for Taiwanese singer Cyndi Wang, putting on eye protection didn’t help abate the tears that formed. Instead, what she does to stem the flow of tears while chopping onions is to first soak them in ice water.

The actress and her husband, Jeremy Chan like to cook and one item that they have mastered is omu rice, where a soft-set, creamy omelette is draped over fried rice.

The trick to perfecting the egg is precision. In an interview with 8days, she shared: “When you first cook the omelette, you have to stir it quickly and continuously [with chopsticks]. And when the egg starts to set, transfer it into a bowl and continue stirring. This is to ensure that when you return it to the pan, it will be more evenly cooked.

“And when you cook the omelette the second time, tilt the pan [and slide the omelette to the edge] so it is easier to control its shape.”

The former DJ’s Instagram feed is frequently filled with food and she was whipping up a storm during circuit breaker. However, one of the biggest issues she faced was that she was cooking for a table of one. Hence her rice hack is to cook three portions of rice at a time. The first she’ll eat fresh from the cooker with curry, and the remaining portions go into the fridge to make fried rice or porridge after.

She also advised making soups and stews for those living alone as they can be kept for longer and heated up easily for a meal.

The Malaysian singer’s secret to a great bowl of noodles that’s topped with scallions is how the fried scallions are prepped. After frying the scallions, separate the fried scallions from the oil used. Let them sit for a while before mixing them in a glass jar, then spoon over a bowl of noodles for a hearty meal.
