THAI FISH CAKES

Steps:

• Place fish, red curry paste, cilantro/coriander, fish sauce, lime and egg in a food processor. Whizz until the fish is minced and it looks like a paste. (See video)
• Transfer to a bowl and stir through rice flour and green beans until flour is all incorporated. (Note 4)
• Measure 1/4 cup of mixture (I use an ice cream scoop - Note 5), form 1cm / 2/5" thick patties.
• Heat enough oil in skillet over medium high heat to cover the base (4 tbsp or so)
• Place in oil, cook 2 minutes until deep golden brown, then turn and cook the other side for 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towel lined plate.
• Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil into the skillet if required.
• Serve with Sweet Chilli Sauce, garnished with cilantro/coriander leaves and lime wedges on the side. Add a side of Thai Fried Rice or even just plain jasmine rice to make a meal!

THAI FISHCAKES WITH SWEET CHILLI SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the salmon, white fish and squid into a food processor, then whizz until smooth. Add the chilli paste and pulse until well mixed. Place all the other ingredients, except the oil, into a large bowl. Add the fish mixture, then knead together for 5 mins until smooth and elastic.
• Shape into small flat discs about 5cm across. Heat a few cms oil in a wok until it shimmers, then fry the fishcakes in batches for 2-3 mins until golden. Drain on kitchen paper. Can be chilled for up to 1 day, then reheated in a hot oven for 5 mins.
• For the chilli sauce, place the vinegar, sugar, 2 tbsp water and the whole chillies in a small saucepan, then bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 mins, then remove from the heat. Place in a food processor and blend until smooth. Strain, saving 1 tsp chilli, then stir in the saved chilli and leave to cool. Will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week. Serve fishcakes with the chilli sauce, cucumber and peanuts.

QUICK ASIAN FISHCAKES

Steps:

• Whack the lemongrass against your work surface and remove the tough outer layer. Peel the ginger, then very finely chop with the inside of the lemongrass and most of the coriander, stalks and all, reserving a few nice leaves in a bowl of cold water. Chop the salmon into 1cm chunks over the mix on your board, then push half the salmon to one side. Chop the rest until super-fine, almost like a purée, then mix the chunkier bits back through it and season with sea salt and black pepper. Divide into 4, then shape and squash into 2cm-thick patties. Place a large non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the patties for 2 minutes on each side, or until nicely golden. Spoon the chilli jam over the fishcakes, add a splash of water to the pan, turn the heat off, and jiggle to coat. Serve sprinkled with the drained coriander.
