Cooking tips

  • Avoid using minced garlic as it may clump and make the dish look messy—always use sliced garlic for a clean appearance.
  • Adding 2 tablespoons of water during cooking prevents the sauce from burning or drying out and helps the flavors soak into the fish cake.
  • Stir-fry quickly over high heat to evaporate moisture and prevent the fish cake from burning while preserving its signature chewy texture.
  • If onion syrup is unavailable, you can substitute with an equal amount of corn syrup or honey to balance sweetness.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to upgrade their everyday fish cake stir-fry into a neat, restaurant-quality side dish.
  • People looking for a hearty side dish where the subtle spiciness of chili oil perfectly complements the savory richness of oyster sauce.
  • Anyone wanting to quickly prepare a lunchbox side dish or staple side dish in just 10 minutes.
