Recipe Notes

To check if the oil in the pan has reached the desired temperature, a simple method is to dip a wooden spatula into it. If bubbles form around the spatula, then it's an indication that you can begin the frying process.

As individual preferences vary in terms of saltiness, sweetness, bitterness, spiciness, acidity, and heat, always add spices, herbs, and seasonings according to your taste. When experimenting with new seasonings, be aware that some spices, like chili pepper, are particularly sensitive, and it's crucial not to overuse them.

Important Note: The choice of the right frying pan is crucial and can significantly impact even the best recipe.
