Main Ingredients
- 5 sheets of square fish cakes
- 4 Tbsp all-purpose flour (buchim garu)
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 120ml – 150ml water
- Plenty of cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all your ingredients: You’ll need 5 sheets of square fish cakes, 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 120-150ml of water, and plenty of cooking oil. It’s helpful to cut the fish cakes into bite-sized pieces (usually 2-3 cuts per sheet).
Step 2
In a wide bowl, combine the 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Mix them well to ensure there are no clumps. Adding cornstarch will help achieve an extra crispy texture.
Step 3
Gradually add the 120-150ml of water to the mixed dry ingredients, stirring to form a batter. It’s best to start with 120ml and add more water as needed to reach the desired consistency.
Step 4
The batter should be pourable, like thick cream, flowing smoothly when lifted with a spoon. For a chewier texture, make the batter slightly thicker. If you prefer a thin and crispy coating, make the batter thinner. Adjusting the batter’s consistency is key to achieving your desired texture for the fish cake fritters.
Step 5
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. The fish cakes should be fried rather than pan-fried for the best crispy results. Using enough oil is crucial; otherwise, they might burn or become soggy.
Step 6
Dip each piece of cut fish cake into the batter, ensuring it’s evenly coated on both sides. Aim for a thin layer of batter rather than a thick coating. Place the battered fish cakes onto the preheated pan.
Step 7
Fry the fish cakes over medium heat until both sides are golden brown and crispy. Flip them occasionally to ensure even cooking. Be mindful of the heat to prevent burning.
Step 8
Once cooked, place the fish cake fritters on paper towels to drain excess oil. They become even crispier as they cool slightly, so allowing them to rest for a moment before enjoying will enhance their texture. Enjoy your delicious fish cake fritters!
