Secrets to Delicious Fried Foods

Frying Spring Rolls: Double fry for perfection. First fry until spring rolls are cooked but still pale. Just before serving, fry them again over low heat until they turn golden and crispy. Fry spring rolls in batches, ensuring each batch is done before starting the next. Never fry a new batch with an old one, as it will drastically reduce the oil temperature, compromising the necessary heat for frying and making the spring rolls soggy when cooled.

To keep potatoes crispy when frying, soak them in salted water after peeling and cutting. This prevents discoloration and removes excess moisture, resulting in longer-lasting crispiness. Double frying potatoes is also recommended. Fry them until cooked the first time, then let them cool completely before frying again to maintain crispiness even when cooled.

For dishes with a coating of batter: Always use either wheat flour or crispy frying flour. Using cornstarch or corn flour will result in less crispy and tasty dishes. If using tempura flour, it's still best to coat the dish in a mixture of crispy flour diluted with water or mixed with eggs to create a cohesive coating. When frying dishes with a battered coating, ensure they are fully submerged and fry over moderate heat.

Observation shows that when food starts to bubble, increase the heat to allow excess oil to drain off, then remove it immediately to avoid burning or browning. Custard powder can be used instead of crispy flour to create a binding texture when frying dishes with a batter. This gives the food a natural golden color.

However, it's important to note that custard powder, typically used in desserts, has a slight sweetness, making it suitable for sweet dishes like fruit fritters, fried bananas, fried cakes, etc., rather than savory dishes.

Add ginger slices for frying

+ Ensure the frying pan is completely dry before adding cooking oil.

+ Use a non-stick frying pan for frying, or you can use a regular pan coated with a layer of fine salt. When the salt turns dry and golden, discard it and add oil for frying.

+ Use a fresh ginger slice to rub all over the surface of the pan, then add cooking oil. The ginger and oil will form a barrier to prevent food from sticking.
