said: The whole cooking
process only takes about 3 - 4
minutes. This is the characteristic of Chinese cooking. This process
retains the freshness of the vegetables and their
nutritional
values. Highly recommended for the health conscious diners.
Call it a different kind of salad.

said: Must deep fry on medium to hot oil, not slow heat.
Otherwise the batter would absorb too much oil and become soggy
later.

over fritters while hot so that the cheese melts slightly. mmmM......delicious.
