Kim Dae-seok's Spicy Potato and Fish Cake Stir-Fry

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Soaking potatoes in salt and maltose before cooking removes internal moisture, making them firmer and less likely to break apart during cooking, resulting in a chewier texture.
• Microwaving fish cakes for 30 seconds instead of boiling lightly removes surface moisture, preventing sogginess and enhancing their chewy, bouncy texture when absorbing sauce.
• Preparing the seasoning sauce in advance ensures even distribution and prevents burning on the pan bottom, allowing consistent flavor across all ingredients.
