What each ingredient does

Tripe
Forms the main body of the dish, becoming tender after boiling and cooking.
Pancake batter
Coats the tripe and forms a crisp golden crust when fried in hot oil.

The step that matters

Fry in hot oil until golden brown. The oil must be hot enough to crisp the batter quickly; if it is too cool, the batter absorbs oil and turns greasy before it browns.
