  • Everyone's tolerance for salt, sweetness, tang, and heat is different, so always adjust the spices and seasonings to your own taste. If you're using a seasoning for the first time, keep in mind that some are easy to overdo — chili pepper, for one.
  • Every oil is good only up to a certain temperature — its smoke point — beyond which it starts to burn and form harmful compounds. Choose an oil with a suitable smoke point for frying.
