Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 4-5 sheets of square fish cakes. The taste can vary depending on the type of fish cake, so choose one that suits your preference.
Step 2
Cut the prepared fish cakes into bite-sized pieces. Cutting them not too thinly will help maintain a good texture when stir-fried.
Step 3
Prepare half a medium onion and slice it thinly into strips. The sweetness of the onion will add to the flavor of the fish cakes.
Step 4
Heat a wok or a wide pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of chili oil and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. The spicy aroma of the chili oil will stimulate your appetite.
Step 5
Now, let’s make the seasoning sauce. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 3 tablespoons of corn syrup, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well. Pour this seasoning mixture into the heated wok with chili oil and sesame oil, and stir gently with a spatula to combine the ingredients evenly.
Step 6
Once the seasoning sauce starts to bubble, add the pre-cut fish cakes and sliced onions. Keep the heat on high and stir-fry quickly for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce is well coated on the fish cakes and onions. Be careful not to burn them.
Step 7
When the onions begin to turn translucent, reduce the heat to low. Continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes on low heat until the sauce thickens slightly. Just before turning off the heat, add the chopped Korean chili peppers and red chili pepper (if using), and finally sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds. Give it a quick mix with the residual heat to complete your delicious stir-fried fish cakes!
