Kim Dae-seok's Fish Cake Fritters

Mini fritters made by coating small, square fish cakes—kept chewy by not blanching in hot water—with a sweet and savory sauce and a colorful egg coating, then pan-fried to perfection.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not blanch the fish cake in hot water, as it will lose its chewy texture and become dry and rubbery. Always use it raw for best results.
  • If steak sauce is unavailable at home, mix 1 tablespoon soy sauce with half a tablespoon oyster sauce as a great substitute.
  • Adding finely chopped green and red chili peppers to the egg mixture balances the fish cake’s richness with a spicy kick and enhances visual appeal. For children, omit the green chili pepper.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a fresh twist on usual fish cake stir-fry or fish cake soup.
  • Parents seeking a quick, kid-friendly side dish or a light late-night snack to enjoy with beer.
  • Fans of chewy, sweet-savory finger food-style side dishes.
