Recipe Notes

Bear in mind that the quality and flavor of the final dish significantly rely on the correct defrosting of the ingredients.

It's crucial to note that all cooking oils have a smoke point, beyond which they start to burn and release harmful substances, including carcinogens.

A simple method to determine if the oil in the pan is adequately heated is by using a wooden spatula. Dip it into the oil, and if you notice bubbles forming around it, it's a sign that the oil is ready for frying.

Lastly, remember that the choice of the right frying pan is essential to the success of any recipe. An unsuitable pan can negatively impact your cooking results, regardless of how great the recipe may be.
