Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine all these sauce ingredients and mix well.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onions and garlic until soft, about 3 minutes. Add sliced fish cakes and stir-fry until soft, about 2 minutes. Pour water and stir fry continuously. Let the water evaporate. Push fish cakes to the corner of your skillet.

Notes

  • If you want to make this side dish more hearty, add sliced vegetables like bell pepper or carrot. You can stir-fry them with the onions in the cooking step.
  • Corn syrup is an optional ingredient. It adds a sheen to the dish, making it look more appetizing.
