Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Halve 220 g of fish cake lengthwise and slice diagonally into 5 mm pieces, then blanch in boiling water for 20 seconds to remove excess oil, lift out, and shake off the water.

  2. 2

    Shred half an onion and 60 g of carrot into strips, and seed and diagonally slice 1 cheongyang chili.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat, add 0.7 tablespoon of minced garlic, and stir-fry for 20 seconds to infuse the oil with aroma.

  4. 4

    Add onion and carrot and stir-fry over medium heat for 1 minute, then add fish cake.

    When onion edges become slightly translucent, it is ready for the fish cake.

  5. 5

    Add 1.5 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of oligosaccharide syrup, then stir-fry briskly over high heat for 2 minutes.

    The dish is ready when the sauce forms a glossy coating on everything.

  6. 6

    Add cheongyang chili and stir-fry 30 more seconds, then turn off heat, drizzle 0.5 tablespoon of sesame oil, toss lightly, and serve.

Tips

Blanching fish cake removes fishy notes and keeps flavor clean.
Use high heat briefly to avoid a watery stir-fry.
