Ingredients

  • 4 sheets Korean fish cake
  • 2 stalks Green onion, chopped
  • 1/4 Red carrot, sliced
  • 1/2 Onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • Sesame seeds to garnish

Instructions

  • Prep the fish cake and vegetables: Cut the fish cake sheets into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Set aside. Thinly slice the carrot, slice the onion and roughly chop up the green onions.
  • Pan-fry the vegetables: Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the carrots, onions and green onions. Stir-fry until the vegetables are soft and slightly fragrant, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the fish cake: Toss the fish cake into the pan and stir-fry with the vegetables for about 1 minute so it warms through and starts to soak up some flavor.
  • Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil and water until combined.
  • Combine everything: Pour the sauce over the vegetables and fish cake in the pan. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
  • Thicken the sauce: Let the mixture cook for another 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened and glossy.
  • Finish and serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and give it a final toss. Serve hot as a side dish, or enjoy it with a bowl of rice!
