🔥 Tips & Variations
- Baked version: Brush with oil and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Extra crunch: Double-fry method: fry briefly, let cool, then fry again for extra crispiness.
- Flavor boost: Add minced water chestnuts or shredded mozzarella to the filling.
- Make-ahead: Assemble and freeze uncooked; fry straight from frozen when needed.
I can also give you an air fryer version that’s lighter, crispy, and ready in under 20 minutes if you want.
