Cooking tips 💡
- For the seasoned side dish, squeeze out as much moisture from the cucumber as possible to prevent the seasoning from diluting and to keep it crunchy even after time.
- If the fish cake is sliced too thinly, it may get overshadowed by the cucumber's strong crunch, so it's better to keep the fish cake slices slightly thick.
