Ingredients- 3 sheets of Korean fish cake (Eomuk), adjust quantity as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the fish cakes. Cut each of the 3 sheets of Korean fish cake (Eomuk) into long, thin strips. Aim for a thickness of about 0.5 cm; thinner slices will result in a crispier texture. You can adjust the size to your preference.
Step 2
Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper. Arrange the cut fish cake strips in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. Overlapping pieces may cook unevenly and reduce crispiness.
Step 3
Preheat your air fryer. Set the temperature to 180°C (356°F) and cook for approximately 15 minutes. Flipping them halfway through will help them crisp up evenly on all sides.
Step 4
Midway check-in! After about 8 minutes of cooking, carefully open the air fryer and check on the fish cakes. If any pieces are overlapping, gently separate them. You can also rearrange pieces that seem to be cooking slower. This ensures consistent crispiness.
Step 5
And there you have it! Perfectly crispy on the outside and satisfyingly chewy on the inside, your homemade Air Fryer Fish Cakes (Eomuk Chips) are ready. Enjoy them warm right away or let them cool for a crunchy snack. They are a fantastic pairing with Tteokbokki or simply as a delightful treat!
