Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s get all our ingredients prepped and ready to go. It’s a good idea to give the fish cakes a quick rinse under running water before you start.
Step 2
Finely chop the white parts of the green onion. Slice the Vienna sausages diagonally to create little cuts, which help them absorb the sauce better and make them look more appealing. Cut the square fish cakes into pieces roughly the same size as the sausage. This ensures even cooking and easy eating.
Step 3
Now, let’s quickly blanch the sausages. Dip the diagonally cut Vienna sausages into boiling water for just 5 seconds. This step helps to remove excess oil, resulting in a cleaner taste. Next, give the fish cakes a quick ‘shower’ in the boiling water for about 10 seconds. This will help them retain their chewy texture.
Step 4
Heat a pan over medium-low heat and add a little cooking oil. Add the chopped green onions and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Then, add the prepared fish cakes and stir-fry for another 10 seconds. Toss in the blanched Vienna sausages and stir-fry for an additional 10 seconds. Lightly sautéing the ingredients at this stage enhances their flavors.
Step 5
It’s time to add the delicious sauce! Pour in the soy sauce (1 Tbsp), oyster sauce (0.5 Tbsp), allulose or corn syrup (1.5 Tbsp), and the vinegar (1 tsp) for a touch of tanginess. Make sure to measure accurately for the best flavor balance.
Step 6
Stir-fry everything together for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, allowing the sauce to coat and penetrate the fish cakes and sausages evenly. Be careful not to overcook, as the sausages might become tough. Turn off the heat, add a pinch of black pepper for a hint of spice, and sprinkle with sesame seeds for a nutty aroma. Give it a final toss, and your mouthwatering Vienna Sausage and Fish Cake Stir-Fry is ready! Your kids will absolutely love it.
