- For a spicy kick, finish by adding chili oil or chili powder instead of cooking oil at the end.

Cooking tips 💡
- Adding water before oil when stir-frying prevents the sauce from burning and ensures the fish cake remains tender all the way through.
- The caramel in the flavor soy sauce gives the fish cake a rich, appetizing dark brown color and adds a subtle sweetness.
- To make a vibrant red fish cake stir-fry, skip cooking oil and finish with chili oil or chili powder for a clean, bold result.
