Cooking tips

  • Use green peppers specifically—because they have a distinct tangy, spicy aroma and lower moisture content compared to other bell peppers, which helps preserve the dish’s signature sharpness and freshness.
  • Choose fish cakes with higher fish meat content; this ensures they hold up well when sliced and stir-fried, maintaining a chewy, resilient texture and rich flavor.
  • Green peppers lose their crispness and change color if overcooked, so add them only at the very end and stir-fry quickly to retain their texture and bright color.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a sophisticated and special side dish instead of the usual plain fish cake stir-fry.
  • Fans of contrasting textures who enjoy the crisp bite of green peppers paired with the chewy resilience of fish cake.
  • Anyone craving a savory, spicy, and addictive side dish with deep umami from chili oil and oyster sauce.
