Cooking tips 💡

• Frying garlic over high heat can make it bitter, so gently infuse the flavor over low heat.
• Instead of fermented hairtail viscera sauce, you can use anchovies or fish sauce to add savory depth.
• Overcooking the shrimp will make the texture tough, so turn off the heat as soon as they are cooked.
