Quick, Spicy, and So Comforting: Fishcake Kimchi Noodles

This weekend was Kimbap Day! Whenever I have kimbap, I usually crave fish cake soup or warm noodles on the side.

Since I had some leftover fish cakes and egg strips from making kimbap, I decided to whip up a super quick and easy fish cake Kimchi Noodles—literally done in 5 minutes!

It turned out way better than I expected, so of course, I had to share the recipe!

🍽️ Ingredients

  • Fish cakes
  • Kimchi
  • Somyeon (thin wheat noodles)
  • Broth cube (dashi stock cube) - 1 coin
  • Soy sauce - 1 tbsp
  • Sugar - 1 tbsp

Here is the product we used for Somyeon (thin wheat noodles). somyeon product

That’s really all you need!

But since I had leftover egg strips and perilla leaves from my kimbap, I used them as toppings—and they paired perfectly with the noodles.

How to Make It

  1. Chop the fish cakes and kimchi into small pieces. In a pan, add 1 tbsp soy sauce and sugar stir-fry them for extra flavor.

  1. Boil water and add 1 coin broth, somyeon, and the stir-fried fish cakes & kimchi.

Somyeon’s cooking time is shorter than general pasta noodle. Boil it for about 3 mins and make sure to wash with cold water (for better texture).
