Delight with Thai fishcakes for a crowd.
Ingredients:
  • Peanut oil, to shallow-fry
  • 500g firm white fish fillets (such as ling), coarsely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, quartered
  • 3 makrut lime leaves, centre veins removed, finely shredded
  • 40.00 ml coarsely chopped fresh coriander
  • 24.40 gm fish sauce
  • 21.00 gm red curry paste
  • Pinch of salt
  • 5 (about 30g) green beans, thinly sliced
  • 60g (1/4 cup) white sugar
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) fresh lime juice
  • 24.40 gm fish sauce, extra
  • 1/2 Lebanese cucumber, deseeded, finely chopped
  • 1 small fresh red birdseye chilli, deseeded, thinly sliced
  • Makrut lime leaves, extra, to garnish
Instructions:
  • In a food processor, combine fish and garlic until finely chopped. Add lime leaves, coriander, fish sauce, curry paste, and salt; process until mixed. Transfer mixture to a bowl, add beans, and stir to combine. Shape into 12 equal portions, form 6cm patties with wet hands, then place on a plate.
  • Begin by heating oil in a large frying pan over high heat, then adjust to medium heat. Cook half of the patties for 2 minutes on each side or until they are nicely browned and fully cooked. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat the process with the remaining patties, making sure to reheat the pan between batches.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, blend the sugar, lime juice, and fish sauce until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and mix in the cucumber and chili.
  • Present the fishcakes on a beautiful platter, top them with fresh lime leaves, and serve with a side of cucumber dipping sauce for a delightful experience.
