Ingredients

• 400 grams White fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia)
• 2 tablespoons Red curry paste
• 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
• 1 large Egg
• 3 leaves Kaffir lime leaves, finely shredded
• 80 grams Green beans, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Rice flour
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 medium Cucumber, diced
• 2 small Shallots, thinly sliced
• 1 small Red chili, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sugar (for relish)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0 to taste Sweet chilli sauce

Directions

Step 1

Place the white fish fillets, red curry paste, fish sauce, egg, shredded kaffir lime leaves, sugar, and rice flour in a food processor. Blend until you have a smooth mixture.

Step 2

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the finely chopped green beans.

Step 3

Using slightly wet hands, shape the mixture into small, flat patties (approximately 2-3 inches in diameter).

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping in a small piece of the mixture – it should sizzle immediately.

Step 5

Fry the fishcakes in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 6

To prepare the cucumber relish, combine the diced cucumber, sliced shallots, chopped red chili, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Step 7

Serve the freshly fried fishcakes with the cucumber relish and a side of sweet chilli sauce for dipping.
