For best results, use high-quality soy sauce with a balanced flavor profile.

Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent throughout the frying process for even cooking and optimal crispiness.
Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or a side of your favorite Japanese dipping sauce for an extra touch.
