Main Ingredients
- 200g flat fish cakes
- 2 fresh eggs
- 1/2 stalk green part of a leek
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Ketchup (optional)
- 1 pinch of salt
- A little black pepper
Savory Dipping Sauce (Tablespoon Measurement)
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar
- 0.5 Tbsp red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
- 0.5 Tbsp water
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar
- 0.5 Tbsp red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
- 0.5 Tbsp water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, to remove excess oil and impurities from the fish cakes, place them in a sieve and pour boiling water over them. This step ensures a cleaner and more delicate flavor.
Step 2
Wash the green parts of the leek thoroughly and chop them finely. If you prefer a spicier kick, finely mince some chili peppers along with the leek, according to your preference.
Step 3
In a large bowl, crack the 2 fresh eggs. Add the prepared leeks (or chili peppers), a pinch of salt, and a little black pepper. Whisk gently with a fork until well combined. Ensure the egg mixture is evenly blended.
Step 4
If you are using thicker, block-style fish cakes, slice them thinly and flat. If you are using pre-cut thin flat fish cakes, you can skip this step.
Step 5
Now, add the sliced fish cakes to the egg mixture. Gently mix them together, ensuring that each piece of fish cake is evenly coated with the egg batter.
Step 6
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of vegetable oil. Carefully place the egg-coated fish cakes into the hot oil. Pan-fry them until they turn golden brown on both sides, taking care not to burn them. Your delicious fish cake and egg pancakes are now ready.
Step 7
Isn’t that simple? Using thin, flat fish cakes will give you a delightful crispy texture, which is quite appealing. They taste great dipped in ketchup while warm, or you can enjoy them with the savory dipping sauce we prepared.
Step 8
These fish cake pancakes are not only a satisfying side dish for any meal but also an excellent and easy snack to enjoy with drinks. Try making them with this recipe for a delicious and enjoyable mealtime! ^^
