- Place these in a 2nd plate.
- Mix with soy sauce, paprika powder, chili powder, salt and pepper.
- In a 3rd plate, fill the cornstarch.
- First roll the sticks in the cornstarch, then dip them in the coagulated liquid. If possible, repeat this process again. However, you need more starch for this.
