Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1 minced garlic clove until the honey dissolves.

  2. Step 2

    Thread 2 fish cakes onto each of 4 wooden skewers, pushing them snugly together.

  3. Step 3

    Brush the fish cakes generously with the soy-honey glaze on both sides.

  4. Step 4

    Grill the skewers over medium-hot charcoal, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the edges are lightly charred and the surface is glossy, about 8-10 minutes total.

  5. Step 5

    Brush with any remaining glaze during the last minute of grilling, then sprinkle with 1 tsp sesame seeds before serving.
