Ingredients

• 400 g white fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia)
• 2 tbsp red curry paste
• 1 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 large egg
• 80 g green beans, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tsp lime zest
• 250 ml vegetable oil (for frying)
• 100 g smooth peanut butter
• 150 ml coconut milk
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp chopped roasted peanuts

Directions

Step 1

Place the white fish fillets, red curry paste, fish sauce, and egg in a food processor and blend until smooth.

Step 2

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the finely chopped green beans, cilantro, and lime zest. Mix well.

Step 3

Using wet hands to prevent sticking, shape the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the fish cakes in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 5

To make the hot peanut dip, combine the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar in a small saucepan over low heat.

Step 6

Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped roasted peanuts before serving.

Step 7

Serve the fish cakes warm with the hot peanut dip on the side.
