  • Secret flavor soy sauce 60g
  • Onion a little

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut 500g of square fish cake into bite-sized pieces, slicing thinly or into small squares.

  3. Place the sliced fish cake and 0.5 cup (100g) of water into a dry pan and begin stir-frying gently until soft.
  4. Once the fish cake becomes moist, add 60g of prepared secret flavor soy sauce and stir-fry slowly so the seasoning evenly penetrates.
  5. Add the sliced onion and green chili pepper and lightly stir-fry to enhance the crisp texture.
  6. For a spicy kick, finish by adding chili oil or chili powder instead of cooking oil at the end.
  1. Cut fish cake and vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Add fish cake and half a cup of water to a pan and stir-fry gently to keep it moist and prevent burning.
  3. Add secret flavor soy sauce and cook while stirring to ensure even seasoning.
  4. Add onion and green chili pepper, then finish with chili oil according to preference.

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.
