Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut the 8 fish cake sheets into 1-inch wide strips. Thread each strip onto a wooden skewer, weaving back and forth so it stays secure.

  2. Step 2

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

  3. Step 3

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the skewers with half of the glaze.

  4. Step 4

    Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, until the fish cakes are lightly charred and heated through.

  5. Step 5

    Brush the remaining glaze over the skewers during the last minute of grilling.

  6. Step 6

    Sprinkle with 1 tsp sesame seeds and 1 sliced green onion before serving.
