Recipe Time: 30 Minutes
Recipe Difficulty: Easy

Method

  1. Place the fish, curry paste, egg, fish sauce and sugar in a food processor and blend for around 3 minutes or until the mixture becomes smooth and sticky (this helps the cakes hold together).
  2. Scoop into a bowl and stir in the lime leaves and snake beans.
  3. Roll the mixture into 18 even-sized balls.
  4. Flatten each ball into a disc and place onto the BBQ and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.

Dipping sauce

  1. Using a mortar and pestle pound the chillies, garlic and coriander root into a fine paste.
  2. Add the palm sugar and combine.
  3. Add the limejuice a little at a time until the ingredients are well incorporated, then add the fish sauce.
  4. The consistency should be like a wet salsa.
  5. Taste for a balance of sweet, sour and salty flavors, adjusting if required.

Serve the fish cakes with the red dipping sauce
