Ingredients- 1 apple
- 3 sheets of square fish cake
- 1/6 carrot
- 1/2 bell pepper
Sauce (Tablespoon Measurement)- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp grated apple
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp grated apple
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients for your Apple and Fish Cake Rolls. You’ll need 3 large square sheets of fish cake, and feel free to choose bell peppers in your favorite colors. Apples and carrots complement each other wonderfully, so using both will enhance the dish’s flavor and nutritional benefits.
Step 2
Cut each square fish cake sheet in half lengthwise. Thinly julienne the carrot to ensure it cooks through easily. Slice the bell pepper into 0.5cm thick strips. For the apple, cut half of it into thin julienne strips to use as filling, and keep the other half whole to be grated for the sauce later.
Step 3
On one half-sheet of fish cake, arrange the julienned bell pepper, apple, and carrot. Carefully roll the fish cake up tightly around the vegetables. To secure the roll, insert a toothpick horizontally through the sides.
Step 4
For a neater presentation, trim any excess filling that might be sticking out from the ends of the rolled fish cake with a knife. This step will make your finished dish look more polished and appetizing.
Step 5
Now, let’s make the apple sauce. Take the remaining half of the apple, cut it into four pieces, and place it in a blender. Add 3 tablespoons of water and blend for at least 10 seconds until smooth. Ensure the apple is finely pureed.
Step 6
Create the special sauce that will elevate your Apple and Fish Cake Rolls. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil, and the 2 tablespoons of grated apple. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined for a balanced sweet and savory flavor.
Step 7
Heat about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan over low heat. Carefully place the fish cake rolls seam-side down (or with the toothpick side facing down) in the pan. Cooking over low heat prevents the fish cake from burning and ensures it cooks evenly.
Step 8
Gently roll the fish cake rolls in the pan to ensure even browning on all sides until they are golden brown. Once nicely colored, pour all of the prepared apple sauce over the rolls. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, basting the rolls with the sauce, allowing it to thicken and coat the fish cake. Cook until the sauce has been absorbed and the fish cake is moist. Turn off the heat.
Step 9
Voila! Your simple yet healthy and delicious Apple and Fish Cake Rolls are ready. They look beautiful and taste even better. Serve them beautifully plated and enjoy this delightful dish!
