Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Welcome! Today, I’ll be sharing a simple and easy recipe for ‘Soy Sauce Braised Fish Cake Stir-fry,’ a beloved staple in Korean cuisine. It’s perfect as a side dish for any meal or as a convenient lunchbox addition.
Step 2
First, heat a pan over medium-low heat and add a little cooking oil. Add the chopped green onions and stir-fry them until fragrant to create scallion-infused oil. Once the green onion aroma is released, add the sliced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.
Step 3
Now, add the fish cake cut into bite-sized pieces to the pan and stir-fry. As the fish cake softens and becomes slightly translucent, it’s time to add the seasonings. Mix in 1 tsp of soy sauce, 1 tsp of red pepper flakes, 1 tsp of oligosaccharide, and a pinch of sesame seeds. Stir-fry while mixing gently with a spatula to ensure the seasoning coats the fish cake evenly.
Step 4
If the stir-fry seems too dry, gradually add about 1/3 cup of water while continuing to stir-fry. This step helps the soy sauce mixture penetrate the fish cake more deeply, resulting in a moist and flavorful dish. Continue stir-frying until most of the water has evaporated.
Step 5
And there you have it – a delicious Soy Sauce Braised Fish Cake Stir-fry! It’s incredibly tasty served over warm rice. This recipe is so easy to make, so please give it a try!
