Ingredients
- 250 grams raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, and roughly chopped)
- 150 grams white fish fillet (e.g. cod or tilapia, roughly chopped)
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 50 grams long green beans (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Add the chopped shrimp and white fish to a food processor. Pulse several times until a smooth paste forms. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Step 2
Add the red curry paste, fish sauce, egg, cornstarch, sugar, and a pinch of salt to the food processor. Blend until all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 3
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced green beans and chopped cilantro. Mix by hand or with a spoon until evenly distributed.
Step 4
Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking. Take a small amount of the mixture and shape it into a flat, round patty about 5 cm in diameter. Repeat with the remaining mixture until all patties are formed.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking (around 180°C or 350°F).
Step 6
Carefully drop the patties into the hot oil, a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm with sweet chili sauce or a cucumber relish for dipping. Enjoy your Tod Mun Goong!
