Notes

For the crispiest results, keep the oil at a steady medium-high temperature while cooking, as this helps create a golden, crunchy exterior without making the food greasy. Keep in mind that the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools, so it’s best not to over-reduce it while cooking. Feel free to adjust the sweetness or saltiness to match your personal taste preferences. For the best texture and flavor, serve the dish immediately after cooking, while it is still hot and perfectly crisp.
