- ✓Make flour paste with 1:1 flour to water ratio and brush only the edges - excess moisture will create steam pockets that rupture the seal.technique1:1 ratio
- ✓Maintain oil temperature at 325-340°F because lower temps make soggy coating while higher temps burn breadcrumbs before filling heats through.timing325-340°F
- ✓Press panko breadcrumbs firmly onto egg-coated triangles and let rest 5 minutes so coating adheres properly and won't fall off during frying.technique5 minutes
- ✓Drain tuna filling for 10 minutes before assembly because excess liquid creates steam that weakens seals and causes oil splatter.ingredient10 minutes
