Traditional way to fry chưng cake, without feeling greasy
First of all, to make the fried chưng cake crispy and not greasy, you need to prepare a good pan like a non-stick pan.
Peel the chưng cake and microwave it to soften it. If there is no microwave, you slice the chưng cake into a pan, add a little cooking oil and cover it for a while to soften the cake. No need for much oil because this frying method will help the fat from the chưng cake melt. But still add a little oil to make the cake crispy and fragrant.
When the chưng cake is soft, put it in a pan and mash it. Use a medium-low heat to fry the cake in a circular motion. Shape the chưng cake in a circle like frying scrambled eggs and stir-frying rice.
Wait until one side of the chưng cake turns golden, then flip it over. Fry the other side normally and then press and shape it into another golden round piece. After both sides are firmer, it will be easier to flip.
