The Ultimate Easy Appetizer: Baek Jong Won’s Eomuk Rolls!
Introducing Baek Jong Won’s incredibly easy Eomuk Rolls, the perfect companion for your drinks! The combination of savory fish cake and spicy Cheongyang chili peppers creates a delightful flavor profile.
Ingredients- 2 sheets of square fish cake (eomuk)
- 4 slices of processed cheese
- 2 Cheongyang chili peppers
- 1 sheet of dried seaweed (gim)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the fish cakes. Lightly grease a pan with minimal oil and grill the two square fish cakes until they are golden brown on both sides. This process enhances their chewy texture and adds a wonderful depth of flavor.
Step 2
Wash the Cheongyang chili peppers, then cut them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. If you enjoy a spicier kick, you can leave some seeds in, but for a cleaner taste, it’s best to remove them all.
Step 3
Now, let’s assemble the rolls. Lay out the grilled fish cakes. Place two slices of processed cheese layered on top of each fish cake. Then, place a sheet of dried seaweed over the cheese. Arrange the prepared Cheongyang chili peppers on top. Finally, roll up the fish cake tightly, just like making a sushi roll.
Step 4
To ensure the rolls don’t unravel, gently insert toothpicks at intervals along the seam. Once secured, cut the rolls into bite-sized pieces at even intervals. Your basic rolls are now ready!
Step 5
And there you have it – your super simple and elegant Baek Jong Won-style Eomuk Rolls, perfect as an appetizer! One bite is all it takes to fall in love with the harmonious blend of chewy fish cake, creamy cheese, and the zesty heat of the chili. The spicy peppers cut through the richness beautifully, making it incredibly addictive. Elevate your next gathering or casual evening with this delightful dish!
