Savory Soy Sauce Glaze- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1.5 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp corn syrup or cooking syrup
- 1 tsp minced garlic

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients needed to make a delicious Fish Cake and Potato Stir-fry. Wash and chop the vegetables.
Step 2
Dice the potatoes and onion into approximately 1.5cm (about 0.6 inch) cubes. Cut the fish cakes into bite-sized squares and thinly slice the Korean green chili peppers diagonally. (If you prefer less spicy food, you can omit the chili peppers or reduce the quantity.)
Step 3
Rinse the diced potatoes under running water to remove excess starch. This prevents them from sticking together during cooking and results in a better texture. Place the fish cakes in a sieve and pour hot water over them to remove excess oil, which will make the dish cleaner tasting.
Step 4
Heat a pan with a generous amount of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and stir-fry for about 5-6 minutes until they are lightly golden brown. Aim to cook them until they are slightly tender on the outside but still firm inside, rather than fully cooked.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are partially cooked, add the fish cakes, onion, and green chili peppers to the pan. Stir-fry over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld together.
Step 6
Now, let’s make the savory soy sauce glaze. In a small bowl, combine 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 1.5 Tbsp oyster sauce, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp corn syrup, 1 tsp minced garlic, and 3 Tbsp water. Stir well until the sugar dissolves. Pour this sauce into the pan with the ingredients and continue to stir-fry over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat everything evenly.
Step 7
Just before turning off the heat, drizzle in 1 Tbsp of sesame oil. The residual heat will release the fragrant aroma of the sesame oil, enhancing the overall flavor. Stir everything together with a spatula to ensure the sesame oil is well distributed.
Step 8
Transfer the finished Fish Cake and Potato Stir-fry to a serving dish. Sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds over the top for an extra nutty flavor and attractive garnish.
Step 9
The perfect blend of savory, chewy fish cake, and tender potato! Your irresistible Fish Cake and Potato Stir-fry is ready to be enjoyed as a fantastic side dish!
