Cooking tips 💡

  • Use salted butter instead of unsalted butter—this ensures a naturally savory, slightly salty umami flavor without needing extra salt, creating an addictive sweet-and-salty taste.
  • For enhanced visual appeal and texture, sprinkle some parsley powder or roasted peanut flour on top after cooking, according to preference.
