flash-fried
Briefly high-heat cooked
Flash-fried describes food cooked very briefly in extremely hot oil, producing a crisp exterior while keeping the inside tender or even rare.
The technique works best with small or thin pieces: flash-fried calamari, flash-fried green beans.
The speed distinguishes it from ordinary deep-frying.
