5. Advice from professional chefs
1. Knife skills affect crispness: the thinner/fine the cut, the crispier the texture. It is recommended to use a grater or sharp knife.
2. Heat control: Use high heat throughout the frying process, and control the time within 1 minute to avoid high temperature damage to the brittle structure.
3. Seasoning timing: Salads should be seasoned 10 minutes before eating. Too early seasoning will cause the water to become soft.
