Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and water until smooth. Set sauce aside.

  2. Step 2

    Prepare all vegetables by slicing and julienning as specified. Pat fish cakes dry with paper towels.

  3. Step 3

    Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  4. Step 4

    Add fish cakes and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned on the edges. Remove and set aside.

  5. Step 5

    In the same wok, add onion and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly softened.

  6. Step 6

    Add zucchini and carrot, stir-frying for another 2 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.

  7. Step 7

    Return fish cakes to the wok and pour in the prepared sauce. Toss everything together and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until sauce coats everything and thickens slightly.

  8. Step 8

    Transfer to a serving bowl or plates. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve hot with steamed rice.
