Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Korean fish cakes (eomuk)
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 small Carrot
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
Instructions
Slice the fish cakes into small strips or bite-sized pieces.
Peel and thinly slice the onion. Peel the carrot and julienne it into thin matchstick-like strips. Chop the green onions into 1-inch segments.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, mirin, sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic to create the sauce.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the cooking oil.
Add the sliced onion and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the fish cake pieces to the skillet and continue stir-frying for another 2 minutes.
Pour the sauce over the fish cakes and vegetables. Stir well to evenly coat all the ingredients. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is absorbed and thickens slightly.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle the sesame seeds over the dish. Add the chopped green onions and give it a final toss.
Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish to rice or other Korean dishes.
