Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • fish cake 1 pack
  • green onion half a bunch
  • onion half a piece
  • oyster sauce 2 tablespoons
  • dried anchovy soy sauce 1 tablespoon
  • sugar 2 tablespoons
  • red pepper powder 3 tablespoons
  • minced garlic 1 tablespoon
  • pepper generously
  • vegetable oil generously
  • bean sprouts 2–3 handfuls
  • sesame oil a little
  • sesame seeds a little

Recipe 🍳

  1. Slice the fish cake into bite-sized long pieces, cut the green onion in half and chop coarsely, and finely slice half an onion.
  2. In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon dried anchovy soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sugar, 3 tablespoons red pepper powder, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and generous pepper to create a thick seasoning paste.
  3. Heat generous vegetable oil in a pan, then add the sliced onion, green onion, and fish cake. Stir-fry until the vegetables begin to wilt slightly.
  4. Once the vegetables have wilted, add 2–3 handfuls of bean sprouts to fill the pan, then pour the prepared seasoning mixture over everything.
  5. Continue stirring together the ingredients and seasoning until the bean sprouts are cooked and release moisture.
  6. Finish by evenly sprinkling sesame oil and sesame seeds for a rich, nutty finish.
  1. Chop fish cake and vegetables, and prepare a seasoning paste with oyster sauce, soy sauce, red pepper powder, and other seasonings.
  2. Heat oil in a pan, stir-fry fish cake, onion, and green onion, then add bean sprouts and the seasoning paste to combine.
  3. When the bean sprouts lose their crispness and the seasoning is well blended, sprinkle sesame oil and sesame seeds to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Choose fish cake with high meat content for a chewier texture and better mouthfeel.
  • Use mild red pepper powder for a bright red color and appealing look while keeping it non-spicy—ideal for those who can't tolerate heat.
  • Bean sprouts wilt quickly, so it’s best to lightly stir-fry the green onion and onion first to wilt them slightly before adding the bean sprouts later.
