Deep-frying medium for appetizer-heavy takeout canon.
How to use it
Keep it in mind for dishes like Chicken Fingers, Crab Rangoon, Egg rolls, Fried Wontons, and General Gao's Chicken. It helps connect home cooking with the flavors readers often recognize from New England Chinese takeout, dining rooms, and regional Chinese restaurants.
Buying advice
This is usually better bought fresh or locally when possible. Start with Grocery store and warehouse club, and use online ordering only when freshness, shipping, and price still make sense.
What to check before buying
For fresh, refrigerated, or bulky items, pay close attention to delivery timing, storage needs, and whether a nearby market will be cheaper and better.
