Main Ingredients- Fish cakes (surimi) 135g (usually a pack of 5)
- Chopped green onions about 1 handful

Seasoning- Salt 3 pinches
- Sugar 4 pinches
- Salt 3 pinches
- Sugar 4 pinches
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all your ingredients for today’s dish. Wash the green onions thoroughly, chop them into small pieces, and set them aside. Having your vegetables prepped beforehand makes the cooking process much smoother.
Step 2
Prepare the fish cakes. A standard package of 135g (usually 5 pieces) works well. Cut each fish cake in half horizontally. This will give you the perfect size for shaping into hearts.
Step 3
Gently fold each halved fish cake so the reddish outer part faces outwards, creating a heart shape. Secure the shape by piercing it with a toothpick. This helps the heart form hold its shape during cooking. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect; a gentle fold is often enough.
Step 4
You now have adorable heart-shaped fish cakes! The total number of hearts you make will vary slightly depending on the size of your fish cakes and how you cut them.
Step 5
In a bowl, crack the 2 eggs. Add the chopped green onions, 3 pinches of salt, and 4 pinches of sugar. Whisk the eggs gently until well combined with the green onions and seasonings. You can adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Step 6
Preheat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Once the pan is warm, carefully place the heart-shaped fish cakes onto the oiled surface. Ensure there’s enough oil to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Using a spoon, carefully pour the egg mixture into the center of each fish cake heart, filling the space. Be mindful not to overfill; leave a little room as the egg will puff up slightly as it cooks. Avoid letting the egg mixture spill over the sides of the fish cake.
Step 8
Maintain the medium-low heat and allow the egg mixture to cook. Watch as the bottom of the egg mixture starts to set, binding the fish cake and egg together. Cooking gently at this stage is key for a good texture.
Step 9
Once the bottom side is cooked and lightly golden, carefully flip the heart-shaped fish cakes using a spatula. Immediately reduce the heat to low. Cooking on low heat ensures the inside is fully cooked without burning the exterior, resulting in a beautiful golden-brown finish. The key is to cook them slowly until golden.
Step 10
When both sides are evenly golden and cooked through, your beautiful Heart-Shaped Fish Cake Pancakes are ready! They are delicious served warm and also make a fantastic, attractive addition to packed lunches. Enjoy this delightful creation!
