I learned this new word while editing today.
Hanpen is a soft fish cake made by forming ground fish flesh and starch into squares or triangles, which are then steamed. It can be eaten as it is or alternatively grilled, poached or deep-fried and dipped in soya sauce [1].
I hope to have the chance to try it one day. 😊

I blog about editing, proofreading, and the English language.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Many of the phrasal verbs and idioms addressed in this blog were highlighted during an English conversation class I ran a few years ago. I’m grateful to those who attended this for helping me see my native language from a different perspective.
Most of the examples used are quotes from news articles. Click on the links (in yellow) to view the full article.
