Step 1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in cold water for 10 minutes so they don't burn when cooking.
Step 2
Thread each skewer by alternating: one fish cake slice, one onion chunk, repeat until you have 4 pieces per skewer.
Step 3
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers and slides quickly when you tilt the pan, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Place the skewers in the pan in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes until the bottom surface turns light golden brown.
Step 5
Flip each skewer over and cook for another 2 minutes until the second side is also golden brown.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang and sugar with a fork until fully blended with no lumps.
Step 7
Pour the sauce over the skewers in the pan and toss to coat evenly, cooking for 1 minute until the sauce becomes glossy and sticky.
Step 8
Transfer the skewers to a serving plate, scraping any extra sauce from the pan onto them.
