Ingredients

some you might remember a while back when i was raving about

2 c cooking oil

Instructions

This dish is very savoury with a crunchy/chewy texture. The version I had in the restaurant still had bones but was so well fried that I just munched up the bones and all. Incidentally, I'm going to buy the "Keo's" book as well. It looks quite good too but seems to be tailored more toward Western kitchens. For instance, it calls for brown sugar rather than palm sugar in most recipes. Now that's a perfectly adequate substitution, but why bother when I have palm sugar on hand? (Smug grin.)
