Fish cakes are sitr-fried with vegetables
Everyone is busy these days. And that “Everyone” wants quick and easy, no brainier recipes.
 
So here is one I can offer that can be prepared less than 15 minutes from start to finish, only “if” you can slice 1 green pepper, 1/2 onion and 1/2 carrot within 5 minutes and 30 seconds. I bet you can.
 
And did I say you only need one flavoring ingredient to season this fabulous Korean fish cake side dish? – the bottled Oyster sauce! That’s all.
 
This is an easy recipe that you can utilize any leftover vegetables you have in hand. I uses onion and pepper with my fish cake pieces. It makes a great Korean side dish to server with rice.

Fish Cakes with Vegetables

Fish cakes are commonly used all over in Asia.  I love them. They are made with ground fish meat mixed in various types of starch and other ingredients such as vegetables or other types of seafood like shrimps or squids.

You can use any kind of fish cakes for this recipe. 
  1. First, it is always good idea to give these fishy guys hot shower to get rid of extra coated oil. Blot them with paper towel to dry them.

  2. Slice the cakes any way you like.

  3. Slice these vegetable quartets as well, even garlic. I would slice the carrot as thin as possible though.

  4. Heat oil over medium heat and saute garlic and carrots first for 2 minutes to soften their hearts. Then add the rest of the family to reunite with them. Saute until crisp tender.

  5. Dump the fish cakes and let them socialize with the others in the party. Add the oyster sauce and stir well.

  6. This is an optional, but Korean Corn syrup will give very nice “bling-bling”-like shine to these guys. Drizzle and stir. Sprinkle some sesame seeds. I used both white and black seeds.

     
    I know I could have eaten the leftover chicken casserole from last night’s dinner that nobody cared for.
    But I am saving that for leftover night. 🙂
     
    I bet the chicken in the casserole will be happier if the entire family around the dinner table stares at him once again.
     
    Life goes on, as busy as always. Now, what should I make for dinner?
