- ✓Cook at medium heat (300-325°F pan surface) to ensure the thick cabbage mixture cooks through without burning the exterior before the interior sets.timing300-325°F
- ✓Use cornstarch instead of flour for a crispier exterior because cornstarch creates a lighter, more delicate crust when pan-fried due to its pure starch content.ingredient
