What it is
This is a convenient frozen product featuring fish cake that has been deep-fried and includes pieces of vegetables. The fish cake is made from a blend of fish paste and other ingredients, then fried to achieve a golden-brown exterior and a tender interior. The addition of vegetables adds texture and subtle flavor to the fish cake. It is pre-cooked and frozen, making it ready for quick preparation.

To prepare, you can heat the frozen fish cakes in a variety of ways. They can be added directly to simmering broths for soups or hot pots, where they will gently reheat and absorb the flavors of the liquid. Alternatively, they can be pan-fried for a slightly crispier texture or added to stir-fries towards the end of cooking. For a simple preparation, they can also be microwaved according to package directions. Ensure they are heated through before serving to enjoy their best texture and taste.
