Ingredients
  • 1 cup ground fish meat
  • 1 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced long bean or wing bean
  • 2 thinly sliced kaffir lime leaves
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped coriander leaf with stem
  • 2 cups cooking oil
Instructions
  1. To a mixing bowl add fish and red curry paste. Mix well until smooth.
  2. To the bowl add long bean, kaffir lime leave and coriander. Mix.
  3. On high heat add oil to wok.
  4. Roll one tablespoon of fish mixture in your hands (dampen hands first) and flatten in your hand, forming a patty. Repeat with remaining patties. Add patties to oil (without overcrowding the wok).
  5. The fish cake will sink in the oil, wait for it to rise to the top and then flip it over. Cook on both sides until cooked through (several minutes per side).
  6. Serve with a light crunchy salad of cucumber, red onions, chilies and rice vinegar/sugar mix.
