Cooking tips

  • Adding a small amount of curry powder removes fishy odors and adds a delicious golden hue and rich flavor.
  • Using ice water in the batter and mixing in potato starch ensures a much crispier texture when cooking.
  • When flipping the pancake, use a large plate that matches the pan size—place it on top and quickly invert the pancake to prevent it from falling apart.
