flash frying
Seconds in oil
Flash frying is cooking food very briefly in extremely hot oil, typically just seconds to a minute.
The high temperature creates a crisp exterior while keeping the interior tender or even raw.
The technique works best with small or thin items: Flash-fried calamari should be tender, not rubbery.
Distinguished from deep frying by speed and intensity.
