LUNAR NEW YEAR With a twist

Test Kitchen

Notes

Always use fresh, clean oil and keep at a constant temperature during cooking. Optimum temperature for vegetables is about 170°C; slightly higher for seafood. Use a kitchen thermometer, or test oil with a small amount of batter. The oil is the correct temperature when batter turns brown in 30 seconds.

Shichimi togarashi is a Japanese seven−spice seasoning available from some supermarkets and Japanese food stores.
