Cooking tips

  • Adding 5 tablespoons of water to the sauce helps the fish cake absorb moisture, keeping it tender and juicy even after cooking and cooling.
  • Sautéing the ham first to release its rich oil deepens the overall flavor and savoriness of the dish.
  • If oyster sauce is unavailable, substitute with 1/2 tablespoon of beef dashi powder to achieve a restaurant-quality umami taste.
