Ingredients for Thai Fish Cake
Method
Directions for Thai Fish Cake
- 1
Prepare the Fish Mixture
In a food processor, combine the white fish fillet, red curry paste, fish sauce, lime juice, and the egg. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
- 2
Add Chopped Ingredients
Transfer the fish mixture to a bowl and fold in the finely chopped green beans and Thai basil.
- 3
Shape the Fish Cakes
Wet your hands and take a portion of the fish mixture to form small cakes, about 5 cm in diameter. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- 4
Coat with Breadcrumbs
Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish and coat each fish cake evenly with the breadcrumbs.
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat until hot. You can test the temperature by dropping a small piece of the fish mixture in; it should sizzle.
- 6
Fry the Fish Cakes
Carefully add the fish cakes into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- 7
Drain and Serve
Remove the fish cakes from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce on the side.
