Everybody loves spicy in the house. We also love that street food style cooking with sweet savory gravy like sauce. The twist is, I put the spicy flavor into the fish cake and not in the sauce.

Prick each cake with a skewer or fork so it absorbs the heat, the inside cooks and it starts to expand. Fry until light brown. Remove excess oil.
For the sauce, heat up a mixture of mayonnaise, water, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, corn starch and grated garlic.
Stir constantly and allow to simmer until sauce is reduced and thick.
