flash-frying
Seconds in oil
Flash-frying is cooking food very briefly in extremely hot oil, producing a crispy exterior while keeping the interior tender or even raw.
The technique works for delicate items like soft-shell crab or thinly sliced vegetables that would overcook with longer frying: Flash-fry the calamari for just thirty seconds.
