2 Fry ingredients that take a long time to cook through first.
Fry the sweet potato and ginkgo nuts slowly at a low temperature of about 150 ° C.
3 French-fry the ginkgo nuts.
Move the nuts about at the bottom of the fryer with the back of a skimmer while cooking to remove the outer skin cleanly.
4 Fry the pine mushrooms well at a temperature of about 180 ° C.
Frying mushrooms strongly lets the moisture escape and really brings out their fragrance.
5 Lightly flour the goby and run it through the batter. Fry with the skin side facing up to prevent it from curling.

One Point
Batter: Sieve weak flour and leave to one side. Beat the yolk well in a bowl, add cold water and mix well. Add half of the flour to start with and mix well by hand. Add the remainder.
Oil: Use a blend of salad oil and sesame oil (8:2).
Salt: Remove moisture by heating in a frying pan. Use a pestle and mortar to make a light, fluffy powder. Add some green tea powder or other flavor to the salt.
