  • Be sure to seal the edges of the accordion treat well. This will prevent the filling from leaking out.
  • Fry the accordion treat until it is golden brown and crispy. This will give it a delicious flavor and texture.
  • Serve the accordion treat with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or ranch dressing.
  • To make a vegetarian version of the accordion treat, use tofu or tempeh instead of chicken or beef.
