Cooking tips 💡

• Slicing cuttlefish while it’s slightly frozen prevents it from breaking apart and ensures clean cuts.
• Avoid making the batter too wet at the start—excess moisture from vegetables and cuttlefish can make the pancake soggy.
• If the heat is too low during frying, the pancake will absorb too much oil and become greasy; maintain a heat level slightly higher than medium.
• Using ice water and combining tempura flour and pan-frying flour in a 5:3 ratio results in a significantly crispier pancake.
