This is a regular dish in Taiwanese restaurants. I miss this dish living in Japan, so I tried to recreate this dish at home.

The clay pots are very effective with heat conductivity. Fry gently over low to medium heat without burning.
You need to cook with a lot of oil, but it'll harden once cooled so cook in an earthenware pot so that the heat retains and serve immediately.
Take care not to burn yourself though. Recipe by Mizorecchifan
