Ingredients
- 2 sheets of square fish cake (eomuk)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the square fish cakes. Cut each sheet into 5 long strips. Aim for a moderate thickness so they achieve a great texture when fried.
Step 2
Fold each fish cake strip in half. Then, make a long cut about 3/4 of the way down from the folded edge. Be careful not to cut too deeply.
Step 3
Gently open the cut part. Making this cut helps the fish cake achieve a lovely twisted shape when cooked.
Step 4
Now it’s time to create the twist! Take the other end of the fish cake strip and thread it through the opened cut, pulling it down. This will form a shape resembling a pretzel or twisted dough.
Step 5
Once you thread it through, you’ll have a cute twisted fish cake! This shape is particularly appealing to children.
Step 6
Arrange the twisted fish cakes in your air fryer basket. Try not to overcrowd them. You don’t need to add any oil.
Step 7
Set your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) and cook for 7 to 10 minutes. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fish cake and your air fryer model, so it’s a good idea to check them halfway through. They are ready when they turn golden brown and look deliciously fried.
Step 8
Once perfectly fried, transfer the twisted fish cakes to a plate. Enjoy your delicious, crispy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside fish cake twists! They are incredibly delicious when served with tteokbokki.
