Tips
Do not marinate the meat strips for less than 30 minutes, otherwise they will not taste good! In addition to cutting into strips, it can also be cut into thick slices, which is also very good;
When mixing the batter, add some baking powder to make the fried crispy meat more fluffy and crispy in texture! Furthermore, you need to add some cooking oil, so that the fried crispy meat will be brighter and the color will be better;
When frying, do not stir the meat strips immediately after being put into the pot, so as to avoid becoming mushy. After frying for 1-2 minutes, flip it over. If it sticks together, shake it gently and it will open. Re-frying is very important. The oil temperature should not be lower than 70%, and the time should not be too long, about 30 seconds.
