Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • 1 stalk Scallion
  • 5 Chikuwa (Fish Cakes)
  • 1/2 bunch Enoki Mushrooms (100g)
  • Toasted Sesame Seeds (to taste)

Seasonings

  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [A] Soy Sauce 1 tsp
  • [A] Gochujang (Korean Chili Paste) 1 tsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tsp
  • [A] Grated Garlic 1 tsp

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp, Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp, Soy Sauce 1 tsp, Gochujang (Korean Chili Paste) 1 tsp, Sugar 1 tsp, and Grated Garlic 1 tsp. Mix well. (Tip: If you don't like spicy food, reduce Gochujang to 1/2 tsp and increase Soy Sauce to 1.5 tsp).
  2. Finely chop 1 stalk Scallion.
  3. Cut 5 Chikuwa (Fish Cakes) in half.
  4. Trim the brown ends from 1/2 bunch Enoki Mushrooms (100g) and separate them into 10 small clusters.
  5. Insert the separated enoki mushroom clusters into the holes of the cut chikuwa. (Tip: Push the enoki into the hole with your thumb after inserting the tip slightly. Be careful not to split the chikuwa).
  6. Lightly oil a frying pan and heat over medium heat.
  7. Place the chikuwa filled with enoki mushrooms in the frying pan. Cook, flipping occasionally, until the surface is lightly browned.
  8. Once browned, re-mix the prepared seasoning sauce and pour it into the frying pan.
  9. Cook while coating everything with the sauce until the enoki mushrooms soften. (Tip: Be careful not to burn. Cook for about 3 minutes to ensure the enoki is cooked through).
  10. Transfer to a plate.
  11. Sprinkle with the chopped Scallions and Toasted Sesame Seeds.
