Main Ingredients- 6 sheets of rectangular fish cakes (eomuk)
- 1/2 medium onion
- 1/3 medium carrot
- 1 stalk of green onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, for a cleaner taste and better texture, briefly blanch the fish cakes in boiling water to remove excess oil. Then, cut them into bite-sized pieces. Slice the onion and carrot thinly, and diagonally slice the green onion.
Step 2
Heat a wide pan over medium heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Let it warm up.
Step 3
Add the sliced onion to the preheated pan and stir-fry for about 1 minute until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
Step 4
Add the cut fish cakes to the pan and stir-fry with the onion for another 1-2 minutes. They taste even better when slightly browned.
Step 5
Next, add the sliced carrot and stir-fry for about 1 more minute. It’s best to stir-fry them until they are slightly crisp rather than fully cooked.
Step 6
Once the ingredients are partially stir-fried, pour 1.5 Tbsp of soy sauce and 1 Tbsp of corn syrup along the edges of the pan. This method helps the seasoning cook evenly without burning.
Step 7
Add 1.5 tsp of minced garlic and quickly stir-fry with all the ingredients to release the garlic aroma.
Step 8
Finally, add the diagonally sliced green onions and stir-fry for just 30 seconds to 1 minute until they slightly wilt, adding a refreshing aroma. Stir-frying quickly over high heat helps maintain the vegetables’ crispness.
Step 9
For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of black pepper. It’s best to turn off the heat before adding pepper to preserve its aroma.
Step 10
Transfer the finished stir-fried fish cakes and vegetables to a serving plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for an extra nutty flavor. Enjoy while warm for the best taste!
