Homemade fish cakes (Eomuk: 어묵)

Hi everybody! Today, we are going to learn how to make eomuk. Homemade eomuk. Korean-style fish cake. Are you excited? Many, many people requested this recipe. With eomuk, you can make soup, stew, and also stir-fry together and make a good side dish. We are going to use best of best ingredients. You can't find this kind of eomuk anywhere else. I will show you what I use. This morning, I bought this from my fish market. Three types of seafood I'm using. This is a cod. And shrimp. Shrimp makes it very special, very chewy. This guy is squid. Ooh, large! Very fresh. This one is frozen. You can use frozen seafood, too. Half a pound cod. You need to follow my measurements very exactly. Chop this into small pieces. Chunk. So that we can use this for the food process later. Very easily, we can cut it. Okay, this is shrimp. Last night, I transferred this from the freezer to my refrigerator. So now, very nice. Just easily, you can peel off the shell. Like this. Or you can buy already shelled. Shelled and clean shrimp. Cut the back part. Like this. You see inside? Clean. But sometimes, you will see the line, so take off this. Let's take care of my squid, small squid. So, cut it. And... Remove this way, intestine. Lift this. So we are going to make really white color. Nice, beautiful white color eomuk. And then, you see this part? So simply, remove this. So, let's chop it up, this squid. And then, put it here. And shrimp. Just around one pound. Okay, let's process this. We need garlic. So, two cloves garlic. And also, onion. Onion is for one pound, around a quarter cup. So this is a quarter cup. This is my quarter cup. So around there. Salt. One teaspoon. And sugar. One or two teaspoons. I will use one teaspoon. And then, we need some pepper. This is white pepper. So, because I like to make the white flesh, so I don't want to mix with other colors, so I'm using just white pepper. But you can use also ground black pepper. Quarter teaspoon. Some vegetable cooking oil. I will use grapeseed oil. One tablespoon. We need some glue. All these fish make it really stick together. Flour and starch. So, all-purpose flour, quarter cup. And this is potato starch powder. You can use corn starch, too. So, potato starch, quarter cup. So, total, we dried the flour, so half cup together. That's a quarter cup, quarter cup. So we use this, and then, one more. One more item is the egg white. Egg yolk, don't throw away. You can use for your massage. Almost two minutes, I just grind this. It has to be really, really soft, like creamy. See? Transfer this to the bowl. Really pretty color, white. But if you like to add some, like, more colorful stuff here, and I suggested some green chili pepper. Really chopped, finely, spicy one. It will give you good flavor. This thing is just not a flour dough. Expensive fish. So I'm going to use this, all my scraper. Let's cook. Three cups of vegetable oil. Today we make this way, and in my next video, I'm going to make side dish with this. You can use this in any dish. Stir-fried stew, and kimchi-jjigae. Kimchi stew, you can add this. You can make a gimbap with this, even. First, just put some oil here. Not sticking. Prevent from sticking. Spread. Okay, then, roll. And then, so again, turn it over this. Really low heat, we have to cook. Dry, and wipe off excess oil. So inside is like this. Can you see this, how elastic it is? Oh my god, it looks good. You can eat it, just as a snack. But if you use a skewer, it'll look better, right? Like this. Put here. Ketchup! Serve this to your family, or friends, or for yourself. And if you don't like ketchup, forget about ketchup. Just eat it. Mmm. Mmm! Really delicious. That's a really good snack. And also, it can be a really good appetizer if you have a big party. Just, you know, small size, make it smaller. Chewy, and sweet, and a little salty, awesome. Mmm. Mmm! Today, we made a muk, Korean fish cake. I cannot find this kind of top quality in anywhere. Homemade food is the best. It's microphone, so I can sing. Enjoy my recipe. See you next time! Bye!
