Special Butterfly Fish Cake Pancakes
A Unique Butterfly Fish Cake Pancake Recipe You Won’t Find Anywhere Else! Perfect for Holidays or Entertaining Guests!
I’m revealing my one-of-a-kind, unique fish cake pancake recipe that you won’t find anywhere else! Its special shape and taste will impress everyone who tries it.
Main Ingredients- 1 packet of steamed fish cake (approx. 300g)
- 10 strips of pickled radish for kimbap
- 2-3 eggs
Seasoning & Others- 2 pinches of fine salt
- Sunflower oil (or cooking oil), generously
- 2 pinches of fine salt
- Sunflower oil (or cooking oil), generously
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Carefully remove the steamed fish cake from its mold. Gently detach the fish cake from its wooden frame using a knife. Then, slice it thinly into semi-circular shapes, about 0.6-0.7mm thick. It’s important to maintain this thickness; if it’s too thick, it will take a long time to cook, and if it’s too thin, it might break.
Step 2
Take a strip of pickled radish for kimbap and cut it about 1cm longer than the semi-circular fish cake. Insert the radish strip between the two halves of the fish cake. To secure it, carefully thread a bamboo skewer through both ends. Once secured, cut the protruding part of the radish in half and gently spread the two halves outwards to create the wings of a butterfly.
Step 3
Now, let’s create beautiful butterfly shapes! You can use fish cake and radish of the same color, or alternate different colored fish cakes for a more vibrant and diverse butterfly appearance. Pay attention to shaping the radish wings nicely as you spread them.
Step 4
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them well with 2 pinches of fine salt. The salt helps to remove any eggy smell and adds flavor. Dip the prepared butterfly-shaped fish cake into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. An even coating of egg will result in a beautiful color when fried.
Step 5
Heat a pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of sunflower oil. Carefully place the egg-coated butterfly fish cakes into the hot oil. Fry them until golden brown on both sides. Gently press down with a spatula while frying to ensure they cook evenly. Spreading the radish wings open as you fry will help maintain the beautiful butterfly shape.
Step 6
The finished butterfly fish cake pancakes are visually stunning with their lovely colors and unique shapes. The chewy texture of the steamed fish cake combined with the crisp pickled radish creates a delightful sweet and savory flavor profile. Serve these with confidence for holidays or special gatherings – they are guaranteed to impress!
