- Add the Flavors: Add chopped cilantro, green onions, and the marinade. Stir with chopsticks. Add a beaten egg, water, and sesame oil, and continue to mix to achieve a bouncy texture.
- Form the Balls: Form the paste into balls and set them in a heated pan with oil.
- Cook: Cook 2-3 minutes until the bottom sets, then flatten each ball into a cake. Flip when the bottom turns golden brown. They're ready when firm and springy to the touch.
