  4. Drain the pieces and let them dry for a few minutes.
  5. Heat the oil to 170 °C in a deep pan.
  6. Fry the pieces for 5 to 6 minutes per side until well browned and crispy.
  7. Drain on paper towels and serve with rice and sambal.

Variations and tips

Without frying. Put the drained pieces in the oven at 200 °C for 25 minutes, turning them halfway through, for a lighter version.
