Cooking tips 💡

• Avoid using oil when frying—this prevents greasiness. Instead, use a dry skillet to lightly fry and remove only moisture, leaving no fishy aftertaste.
• Never mix the young hairtail while the sauce is hot—doing so will make the fish soggy. Always wait until the sauce is completely cooled to preserve the chewy texture.
• Adding a tiny amount of fresh ginger juice to the sauce helps eliminate even the slightest residual odor.
