Main Ingredients
- 200g Fish Cakes (using thicker fish cakes will enhance the texture)
- 1/4 Tbsp Minced Garlic
Seasoning Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Curry Powder
- 3 Tbsp Water
- 1/2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- A pinch of Dried Seaweed Flakes (for garnish)
- 2 Tbsp Curry Powder
- 3 Tbsp Water
- 1/2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- A pinch of Dried Seaweed Flakes (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the fish cakes. Take 200g of square fish cakes and cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 2cm x 3cm. Cutting them too small might cause them to break apart during cooking, so aim for a moderate size. For a cleaner taste and texture, you can briefly blanch them in boiling water to remove excess oil.
Step 2
Now, let’s begin stir-frying. Lightly grease a preheated pan with a small amount of cooking oil. Add the minced garlic (1/4 Tbsp) and sauté over low heat. Be careful not to burn the garlic; cook it gently until a subtle garlic aroma is released. This slow sautéing is key to bringing out the best flavor.
Step 3
Once the garlic becomes fragrant, add the cut fish cakes to the pan and stir-fry them together. Keep the fish cakes moving to prevent sticking, which will help maintain their chewy texture. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until the fish cakes are lightly golden brown.
Step 4
It’s time to season with curry! In a small bowl, combine 2 Tbsp of curry powder with 3 Tbsp of water. Whisk until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. Dissolving the curry powder in water beforehand helps the seasoning coat the fish cakes evenly for a richer flavor. Pour this curry mixture into the pan and stir well with the fish cakes.
Step 5
Continue stir-frying to allow the sauce to absorb into the fish cakes. For an extra layer of flavor, add 1/2 Tbsp of sesame oil towards the end. Stirring in the sesame oil and cooking for a moment longer will enhance the nutty aroma and overall taste. Avoid overcooking at this stage.
Step 6
This is the final step! Just before turning off the heat, sprinkle a pinch of dried seaweed flakes over the dish. The seaweed flakes not only add a visually appealing ‘snowy’ effect but also contribute a savory and aromatic finish, elevating the dish. Give it a final quick toss to combine everything. Your delicious Curry Fish Cake Stir-fry is now ready! Serve it over warm rice or enjoy it as a standalone side dish.
