Kimbap Ingredients- 3 sheets of square fish cakes
- 3 Cheongyang peppers (Korean red chili peppers)
- 2 sheets of dried seaweed (gim)
- 300g cooked rice
Fish Cake Stir-fry Seasoning- 0.3 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
- 1 tsp oligosaccharide (or corn syrup/honey)
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 50ml water (approx. 1/2 soju cup)
- 0.3 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
- 1 tsp oligosaccharide (or corn syrup/honey)
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 50ml water (approx. 1/2 soju cup)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the Cheongyang peppers thoroughly, then slice them in half and remove the seeds. If you like it spicier, you can leave the seeds in. (Tip: Soaking them in water briefly before rinsing can reduce the spiciness slightly.)
Step 2
Slice the fish cakes into long, thin strips for easy eating.
Step 3
Lightly oil a heated pan. Add 0.5 tsp of minced garlic and sauté over low heat until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the sliced fish cakes and stir-fry together for about 1 minute.
Step 4
Once the fish cakes start to become slightly translucent, add 50ml of water. Then, add 1 tsp of red pepper flakes, 1 tsp of oligosaccharide, and 2 tsp of soy sauce. Stir-fry over medium heat, allowing the sauce to simmer and coat the fish cakes.
Step 5
When the sauce has reduced to a glaze and the fish cakes are shiny, your delicious spicy fish cake stir-fry is ready! Turn off the heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 6
Place a sheet of dried seaweed on a bamboo rolling mat. Spread the warm cooked rice thinly over the seaweed. Place a portion of the cooled spicy fish cake stir-fry and the prepared Cheongyang peppers on top. Roll it up tightly using the mat. (Tip: Don’t use too much rice, as it will make rolling difficult; spreading it thinly is key.)
Step 7
Cut the roll into bite-sized pieces to complete your spicy and sweet fish cake mini kimbap! Enjoy your meal.
