Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Stir gochujang, soy sauce, and sugar together in a small bowl until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add fish cakes and bell pepper. Stir-fry until fish cakes are lightly golden and vegetables soften, 5–6 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour gochujang sauce over. Toss until coated and the sauce is glossy, about 1 minute.

  5. Step 5

    Serve hot directly from the skillet or divide between bowls.
