Cooking tips
- For the right sheen and deep sweetness, use rice syrup generously instead of sugar or regular corn syrup—the secret to great flavor.
- Always cover the pan when initially simmering the peppers to let them soften completely, preventing toughness and ensuring full absorption of the sauce.
- After adding the fish cakes, keep the lid off and stir-fry to prevent the fish cakes from puffing up and to allow the sauce to cling perfectly to the surface, achieving just the right seasoning.
Recommended for

- Fans of chewy fish cakes with a savory-sweet sauce that’s fully infused, not just on the surface.
- Home cooks who want to make restaurant-quality side dishes using simple stewing techniques.
