A savory side dish that pairs crisp, rinsed fresh kimchi with flavorful fish cakes in a custom sauce, making it a perfect rice-killer

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Lightly rinse the outer layer of fresh kimchi to eliminate any greasy or heavy taste, leaving behind a clean, crisp texture.
  • Make the sauce thin enough to flow easily—this ensures even coating on both fish cake and kimchi.
  • Spread the kimchi and onion thinly across the pan bottom using a mix of sesame oil and vegetable oil, and stir-fry until nicely browned to maximize flavor.
  • Using only sesame oil can cause burning due to its low smoke point, so always mix it with an equal amount of vegetable oil for safe cooking.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to create a unique, restaurant-style side dish instead of the usual plain fish cake stir-fry.
  • Home cooks looking to use up leftover fresh kimchi and achieve a delicious, reliable, crowd-pleasing flavor.
  • Fans of crunchy kimchi paired with soft fish cake who want to finish a full bowl of rice in no time.
