If it sinks, oil isn't hot enough. When it pops up immediately, put in dough strips, fry to a light tan color. Remove and drain on paper towels. Divide noodles into 3 parts, deep-fry separately. Noodles should explode on contact w/ hot oil & should be removed instantly, before oil is absorbed. Drain on paper towels. Deep-fry chicken 5 min. Remove, drain on paper towels.
