This is a fish cake I often use in a stir fry.
I bought this pack for about 1700 won. But fish cake prices range from 800 to 3000 won.

What it is made of and how it is made.

It is usually made of yellow corvenia (a type of fish) or squid. (Oily fish isn’t good to make fish cake.) The squashed fish flesh is kneaded with some salt, sugar, starch, and cooking wine then, steamed or fried.

I had some fish cake left over after cooking Ddeokbokki the other day.
It is quite a common side dish in Korea but I haven’t cooked this way before. Though it turned out much better than I expected.
