How to Make Cute Heart-Shaped Surimi Pancakes
If you have surimi (fish cake sticks) on hand, you must try this! It’s a simple yet beautiful dish that’s sure to bring smiles. Make it with love, present it beautifully, and enjoy the delicious taste! Perfect as a snack for kids or for special occasions.
Main Ingredients- 4 sticks of surimi (fish cake)
- 1 egg
- A small bunch of chives
- A little bit of carrot
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut each stick of surimi in half. Wash the chives and carrot, pat them dry, and finely mince them. This preparation step ensures the ingredients are evenly distributed for a tastier pancake.
Step 2
Take the halved surimi sticks and gently bend the ends inwards to form a lovely heart shape. To secure the shape, carefully insert a toothpick through the center. This is the key to keeping its adorable heart form!
Step 3
Repeat the process for all the surimi sticks, shaping them into hearts and securing them with toothpicks. Having them prepped this way will make the next steps much smoother.
Step 4
In a bowl, crack the egg and add the finely minced chives and carrot. Season with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper. Whisk everything together with a fork or whisk until well combined, creating a flavorful egg batter.
Step 5
Now, heat a frying pan over medium heat and add about 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the heart-shaped surimi sticks into the pan. Take care to position them nicely for an appealing appearance.
Step 6
After placing the surimi, use a spoon to gently pour the egg batter into the center of each heart-shaped surimi, filling the space. Be careful not to let the batter spill over the edges of the surimi.
Step 7
Once the bottom side is golden brown and cooked, carefully flip the surimi pancakes using a spatula and tongs. Cook the other side until it’s also golden brown and delicious. Adjust the heat as needed to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
When the heart-shaped surimi pancakes are fully cooked, carefully remove them from the pan. It’s important not to remove the toothpicks immediately! Let the pancakes cool down completely. This allows the heart shape to maintain its integrity without collapsing. Removing the toothpick after cooling will result in a clean, perfectly shaped pancake. Enjoy your delightful heart-shaped surimi pancakes!
