    • Fries 🍟

💡 Tips for Best Results

  • Use regular cola (not diet) for better caramelization
  • Don’t over-salt—the soy sauce already adds saltiness
  • Add a little honey or mustard if you want a richer flavor

🤔 Why does cola work?

  • Sugar → creates a caramelized glaze
  • Acidity → helps tenderize the meat
  • Flavor → adds depth and a slight sweetness

⭐ Final Thoughts

This dish is simple, budget-friendly, and surprisingly tasty. It’s perfect when you want something different with minimal effort—and it’s always a conversation starter at the table.
