These Korean styled white fish cakes are really delicious. They have a good white fish flavor along with extra vegetables, and a little bit of flour to make a perfect dish. 
You can prepare the fish mixture ahead and fry it just before serving. That way, it can be a good party food as an appetizer or side-dish.

Jorim is a Korean name for a type of cooking which means food in boiled-down soy sauce or other seasonings. This quail egg side-dish is a simple version of JangJoRim which is made using soy sauce. You can use beef, pork, mushrooms, etc. for jangjorim, and I already posted one beef jangjorim dish before. It taste similar with meat jangjorim but it is easier to make and is good for meatless diet. The taste combination of egg, garlic, pepper, and soy sauce are very delicious.

This is a simple version of a Korean zucchini fritter. Typically, we cover sliced zucchini pieces with some flour, and then dip them into an egg mixture before frying them. However, today I will just dip the zucchini into a flour batter. You can eat these delicious zucchini fritters plain, but dipping them in a little soy sauce mixture makes them tasty even better. It is good for a lunch box, party appetizer, or as a side-dish for normal meals. If you are a vegetarian, you can skip the egg and add a little bit of more water to the batter.

Korean fish-sausage jeon (소세지 부침) is one of the most popular lunch box side-dishes from the old days. When sausage was introduced to Koreans for the first time, it was big hit, and since then Koreans started to make their own fish sausage like this. Later, we started eating ham, and ham replaced fish sausage in different kinds of Korean food such as kimbap, salad, jeon, etc. Slowly this fish sausage became less popular and is an old fashioned food now. Sometimes I miss this dish. It brings back my school day memories, and it still tastes good to me. So today, I will share this recipe with you.
