Cooking tips 💡

  • Pre-cooking fish cake with water before adding oil prevents it from becoming tough and keeps it moist and soft for longer.
  • Stir-frying fresh green chilies with their seeds intact preserves their unique chili aroma, giving a flavor reminiscent of Chinese cuisine.
  • You can substitute fresh green chilies with crisp green peppers or bell peppers for a different twist.
