Carefully add skewers to the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove skewers and drain on paper towels.

Serve with dipping sauce and shredded cabbage on the side.

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Enjoy with a squeeze of lemon for added flavor.
