1.Oil temperature control:The test method is to insert chopsticks into the oil pan. It is most suitable when fine bubbles appear around it (about 180℃).
2.Tool selection:Use a thin-edged knife and keep the blade at a 30° angle to the fish so that the cut fillets will cook more evenly.
3.Heat secrets:Start timing immediately when you hear the "chila" sound. If it exceeds 2 minutes, the meat will become old.
