flash-fries

Briefly deep-fries fast

Flash-fries is the third-person singular form of flash-fry, meaning to cook food very quickly in hot oil at high temperature.

The method produces crispy results while keeping the inside tender: The chef flash-fries the calamari for just thirty seconds.

Flash-frying differs from regular frying in its brevity and intensity.
