Children who consume a balance diet with fruits and vegetables everyday tends to perform well especially in tasks requiring concentration; they have longer attention spans and achieve high test scores.
 
In frying, the food to be fried should be dry. Coating it in flour is a good way to ensure this. Let the coating dries and sets for 20-30 minutes before cooking. Carefully add the food leaving lots of space around each piece so the food will cook evenly. Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much food at once, the oil temperature will drop and the food will absorb fat instead of instantly searing.
