Main Ingredients- 4 sheets of rectangular fish cakes

Seasoning- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide (or corn syrup)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 4 sheets of the main ingredient: rectangular fish cakes.
Step 2
Now, let’s cut the fish cakes into bite-sized pieces. To make them easier to eat and to help them absorb the sauce better, fold each fish cake in half and then slice it into long, noodle-like strips. You can adjust the thickness to your preference.
Step 3
Doesn’t it look appealing and fun to eat, cut like noodles?
Step 4
Next, take 1/2 onion and slice it into thin strips, similar in length to the fish cake pieces.
Step 5
Now, let’s make the delicious sauce that will elevate the fish cake stir-fry. In a bowl, combine 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp minced garlic, 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Mix them well until thoroughly combined.
Step 6
Heat 1 Tbsp of cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced fish cakes and stir-fry them. Stir-frying without water will bring out the wonderfully chewy texture of the fish cakes. If you prefer a softer texture, you can add a splash of water while stir-frying. Continue to stir-fry until the fish cakes are lightly golden brown for enhanced flavor.
Step 7
Once the fish cakes are sufficiently stir-fried, add the sliced onions to the pan. Continue to stir-fry until the onions become tender and translucent.
Step 8
Now, reduce the heat to low or turn off the stove momentarily. Add the prepared sauce to the pan and gently toss everything together. The residual heat will cook the sauce and allow it to coat the fish cakes and onions evenly, preventing the sauce from burning.
Step 9
Voila! Your appetizing fish cake stir-fry is complete.
Step 10
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of toasted sesame seeds over the top for an extra nutty aroma and flavor.
Step 11
This is truly an incredibly simple fish cake stir-fry recipe.
Step 12
Although it’s easy to make, the taste is so satisfying that this side dish will quickly become a favorite. Enjoy it with a bowl of hot rice!
