Stir-fried pork sausage: the soul of the appetizer
Want to eat something heavy without too much trouble? This dry-fried pork sausage will satisfy you.
Cut the cooked sausage you bought into sections. This is considered as pre-processing.

You should continue to stir-fry until the surface of the sausage turns slightly yellow, allowing the oil to separate from it and the outer skin to become wrinkled. Only in this way can the taste reach the level of crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Flavored lotus root slices: the secret to crispy outside and tender inside

Using starch can ensure that the outer skin of the fried ingredients is crispy.
