-
Large Mixing Bowl
-
Sharp Knife
-
Cutting Board
-
Non-stick Frying Pan
-
Spatula
-
Paper Towels
Ingredients
- 500 g WHITE FISH FILLETS
- 2 tbsp RED CURRY PASTE
- 1 tbsp FISH SAUCE
- 1 tsp CASTER SUGAR
- 1 medium EGG
- 4 KAFFIR LIME LEAVES
- 100 g GREEN BEANS
- 3 tbsp VEGETABLE OIL
Instructions
Step 1:
-
Cut your fish into very small chunks. Remove any skin or small bones first. Put the fish into the food processor.
Step 2:
-
Add the red curry paste to the fish. Pour in the fish sauce and sugar. Crack the egg into the processor now.
Step 3:
-
Pulse the machine until a paste forms. Do not blend it for too long. It should look thick and quite sticky.
Step 4:
-
Scrape the paste into a large bowl. Add the sliced lime leaves to it. Throw in the chopped green beans too.
Step 5:
-
Mix everything together with a big spoon. Ensure the beans are spread out well. This adds crunch to every single cake.
Step 6:
-
Wet your hands with a little water. Shape the mix into small round cakes. Make them about two inches wide.
Step 7:
-
Heat the oil in your frying pan. Wait until the oil is very hot. Place the cakes in the pan carefully.
Step 8:
-
Fry the cakes for two minutes per side. They should turn a nice golden brown. Do not crowd the frying pan.
Step 9:
-
Remove the cakes from the hot pan. Place them on the dry paper towels. Let the extra oil drain away.
Notes
Keep the fish cold until you blend it.
Do not over-process the fish paste at all.
Slice the green beans into very thin rounds.
Use wet hands to shape the sticky mix.
Fry the cakes in small batches for crispiness.
Check that the oil is truly hot first.
Use fresh lime leaves for the best scent.
