This Man's Cook Potato and Fish Cake Stew

Soaking potatoes in corn syrup to keep them firm and chewy, then simmering with tender fish cakes to create a hearty side dish that pairs perfectly with rice

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Soaking potatoes in corn syrup before cooking draws out moisture through osmosis, preventing them from breaking apart during simmering and enhancing their chewy texture.
  • Avoid stirring too forcefully before the potatoes are fully cooked, as they may break. Use a spatula to gently handle them.
  • You can substitute tuna sauce with a small amount of dried anchovy sauce or regular soy sauce for a deep umami flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who struggle with potatoes crumbling or breaking apart every time they make potato stew.
  • People looking for a side dish that combines kids' favorite fish cake with savory, slightly sweet potatoes.
  • Those needing a side dish recipe that can be made in advance and enjoyed for several days.
