Main Ingredients- 4 sheets of fish cake (korean style)
- 200g cabbage (approx. 1/4 head)
- 1/2 stalk of green onion
- 1/3 carrot
Seasoning- 3 Tbsp cooking oil
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 3 Tbsp cooking oil
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, slice the green onion in half lengthwise and then thinly slice it into approximately 0.3cm thick pieces. This slicing method allows the onion’s aroma to infuse well into the oil, enhancing the flavor.
Step 2
Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces, about 3-4cm in size. Avoid cutting it too small, as this can reduce the pleasant crunch. Aim for a moderate size.
Step 3
Julienne the carrot into pieces about 0.3cm thick, similar to the thickness of the cabbage. Adding carrots not only makes the dish visually appealing but also contributes a natural sweetness.
Step 4
Cut the fish cakes into bite-sized pieces. Slicing them to about 3-4cm in length makes them easy for both children and adults to eat. For an even chewier texture and to remove any impurities, you can briefly blanch the fish cakes in boiling water before slicing.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add 3 tablespoons of cooking oil. Add the sliced green onions and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Sauté gently until the green onions and garlic become fragrant and lightly golden brown.
Step 6
Once the aroma from the green onions and garlic is released, add the chopped cabbage, carrots, and fish cakes to the pan. Turn the heat up to high and stir-fry quickly. Continue to stir-fry until the vegetables soften slightly and all ingredients are well combined.
Step 7
When all the ingredients are cooked to your liking and the cabbage appears slightly translucent, add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce. Stir quickly to combine and continue stir-frying. The oyster sauce adds a savory depth of flavor, making the dish even more delicious.
Step 8
Finally, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for a nutty aroma, and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds over the top. Your crunchy and flavorful Cabbage and Fish Cake Stir-Fry is now ready! Enjoy it with a hot bowl of rice.
