Stir-fried fish cake is a very popular side dish in Korea. Korean fish cakes are called eomuk (어묵) or odeng (오뎅). Whenever I take my friends or family to a Korean restaurant, the fish cake side dish is usually one of the favorites. Korean fish cake is typically fairly cheap and easy to make, which is why a lot of restaurants will serve this as a complimentary side dish.

This fish cake side dish can also be made spicy or non-spicy. Today, we are showing you how to make the non-spicy version. Don’t worry though, the spicy version is in the works. I like both! The non-spicy version is great for those that are sensitive to spicy foods, or for children.

You’re going to need to go to the Asian market to grab some fish cake sheets. You’ll be able to find fish cake sheets in the refrigerated section or the frozen section with the rest of the seafood. We also used a tiny bit of Dasida beef flavor soup stock powder, which can also be easily found in an Asian market or Korean grocery store. Depending on where you live, you might also need to get fish sauce at the Asian market or online. The other ingredients, such as onions, garlic, soy sauce, black pepper, and olive oil are readily available at most local grocery stores or supermarkets.
