Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Before adding the sauce, fry the fish cakes until they develop a deep brown hue—this ensures a much chewier texture.
  • Never pour the sauce directly onto the fish cakes. Instead, heat it in the pan first to eliminate gochujang’s heavy taste and enhance savory depth.
  • Use plenty of corn syrup so the dish retains its glossy sheen and soft texture even after refrigeration.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a spicy, richly flavored alternative to the usual soy sauce fish cake stir-fry.
  • People seeking hearty side dishes for bento boxes or weekly meal prep.
