  • Tip: The wrong pan can ruin even the best recipe. Choosing the right skillet for the job makes a real difference.
  • Here's an easy way to check whether the oil is hot enough: dip a wooden spatula into it. If bubbles gather around it, you're ready to start frying.
  • You can use any meat in this dish, not just pork. Keep in mind that the cooking time, flavor, and calorie count will change. Beef, for example, takes longer than pork, while chicken breast or turkey cooks faster.
