Our sensei( Japanese language teacher) said it resembles tempura. You need to heat minimum oil for deep frying. Thats the first rule. keep the temperature low or optimum. This avoids blackening of oil by charred food particles .After frying cool and filter. store in a glass bottle or reusable can/bottle. You can use this oil for not only deep frying but also to shallow fry vegetables. Hi

Thanks for the tips (^^) Yeah, I figured there was no real cure/prevention of a hangover. Otherwise it'd be all over the news as a great miracle solution! Still, I thought it was worth asking. Thanks again for the tips and if I ever make those candles I'll be sure to post! Wow! Thanks for the tips (^^)

I usually use the powder version before drinking, and one after I'm finished drinking. It's helped out with alot of the hangoverness. Another miracle cure I've found is eating Maku burgers when I wake up. The greese seems to help my stomach settle if I'm feeling real hung over. My friends use Regain too. It's kinda like redbull. ウコンの力 (Ukon no Chikara) has been a life saver several times. I usually use the powder version before drinking, and one after I’m finished drinking.

Some even suggest using used - filtered - oil as it's better for your engine. Good money saving tip as I say it myself ;-).

Water and as much of it as you can before, during and after is about as good as it can get. As for the next day, what makes you bad makes you better so just get back on the horse.
