Fish cakes I always keep stocked in the freezer
ksh3705111
I like it because it's stir-fried, added to noodles, and has a generous portion.

It was on sale, so I bought it to stock up.

You can make side dishes with it, add it to tteokbokki, or use it to make fish cake skewers; it's delicious that way too.

It's easy to add to dishes; I'll add a little to stir-fries to enhance the flavor.

good for korean food
weee.7859395
The weather was extremely hot, and I was worried that the frozen food would melt. However, this time the packaging was very good, and there were even two large bags of ice. It arrived still perfectly frozen, and since the fish balls were on sale, I bought two bags at once.
andrenanguyen61
Many types of meatballs, delicious when added to hot pot.

The sea bream fillet is the most delicious.

This is the Busan fish cake I always used to buy in Korea. It has less of a floury taste, so I always buy only this one! I made tteokbokki with it today.
LE
I pulled it off from the stick
crew1332

It's so convenient and nice because it's already on the skewer!

Udon with oden soup, perfect for the cold winter! Just like the taste you get in Korea!
Kay pham
Not very tasty.
crew1332
I wish there was a little more broth in the soup, but the taste is okay.
jalaikana71
Tonight's dinner is a spicy skewered fish cake soup! I've only tried the square Busan fish cakes, but since this is from the same brand, it'll probably be delicious, right?
景泰来
This is an attractive style of eating something at home, especially for the children, who do not have great appetite. This helps to feed the children.
gbaebrown
It's really simple and delicious.
agnes
I really enjoyed the meal.
Yummy life
I had seen this on Korean TV many times and had always wanted to try it. It was even more delicious and fresher than the rice cakes I’ve bought from stores. The texture was wonderfully chewy, too. Even though it was my first time buying it, I ordered two packs—and I’ve already finished them all! This is definitely something I’ll keep buying again and again. It makes a perfect meal for dinner.
Jiq683
