Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 1 medium Red chilli (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Fresh coriander (chopped)
- 2 Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 150 ml Sweet chilli sauce (store-bought or homemade, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped red chilli, garlic, fish sauce, lime zest, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, chopped coriander, and sliced green onions.
Step 2
Mix everything together thoroughly until the mixture is well-combined and slightly sticky.
Step 3
Using lightly oiled hands, shape the mixture into patties about 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter and 1.5 cm (0.5 inch) thick. You should get about 8-10 chicken cakes.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Fry the chicken cakes in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked chicken cakes onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the Thai chicken cakes warm with sweet chilli sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with extra fresh coriander if desired.
