Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Blot the fish cake sheets dry with paper towels. Thread each sheet onto a soaked skewer in an accordion fold, weaving the skewer in and out four or five times so the sheet ripples along the stick.
- 2
Whisk soy sauce, gochujang, mirin, corn syrup, sesame oil, garlic, gochugaru, and water until smooth. The glaze should coat a spoon; add a splash more water if it is too thick to brush.
- 3
Brush the skewers lightly with neutral oil and lay them flat in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Air fry at 380°F for 6 minutes.
- 4
Flip the skewers, brush both sides with half the glaze, and air fry 4 minutes more.
- 5
Brush on the remaining glaze and air fry a final 2 minutes until the folded edges are blistered and lightly charred and the fish cake reads 145°F internal.
- 6
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallion and serve hot with the pan drippings spooned over.
Tip: Squeeze the accordion folds tight against each other on the skewer before cooking — the compressed ridges catch the glaze and crisp, while a loosely threaded sheet flaps around in the airflow and dries out flat.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 12 minutes vs ~19 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🌡️Concentrated heat circulation produces even browning and a crispier crust than a full-size oven.
- 🔥Rapid air circulation delivers oven-quality results in a fraction of the time.
