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.
