1. French fries must be soaked in lightly salted water before cooking to taste good.
2. Regardless of the amount of seasoning sauce, it must be prepared in a 1-2-3-4 ratio; in culinary terms, this is called a "light sweet and sour" flavor. Specifically, it consists of one part salt, two parts soy sauce, three parts sugar, and four parts fragrant vinegar, plus a small amount of water and starch. In this flavor profile, the taste of vinegar is slightly stronger, but due to the presence of salt and soy sauce, the vinegar flavor is noticeable without being overly sour; the sensation should feel like a well-balanced sweet and sour taste.
3. Aside from frying the French fries, all actions during the final cooking stage must be quick, taking only one minute; otherwise, the result of being crispy on the outside and tender on the inside will not be achieved. This follows the same principle as stir-frying or quick-frying—it requires speed and precise heat control.
