Tips:
1. The noodles in the oil cake should be soft. If you add carrot puree, you don't need to add water to mix the noodles. If you don't add carrot puree, Xinjiang likes to use milk without adding water
2. Generally, more rapeseed oil is used for making noodles, and you can also add ghee to make the noodles, so that it will be softer and more delicious
3. Because the pancakes are sweet, they should be deep-fried on medium and small heat when they are fried, especially easy to batter.
4. After the pan is cooked, the oil cake is easy to bubble, and you can use chopsticks to pierce it, so that the air is gone, and the oil splashed and fried is especially heated and cooked quickly
