With us tea turns out to be fried (5)
I believe the answer is:
saute
'be fried' is the definition.
(saute can mean fried quickly)
'with us tea turns out' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'turns out' indicates an anagram.
'us'+'tea' is 'ustea'.
'ustea' with letters rearranged gives 'SAUTE'.
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for saute that I've seen before include "Fry quickly in a little fat" , "Fried quickly in a little fat" , "Cook" , "Fry quickly in hot fat" , "Fry lightly" .)
