Cooking tips 💡

• Do not use salt for soaking the garlic chive, as it will become tough and slimy—only use fish sauce for proper crispness.
• Gently simmering the anchovy fish sauce in water removes its fishy odor while enhancing its rich, savory depth.
• When mixing the garlic chive, avoid pressing too hard—handle it gently to prevent strong raw odors from developing.
