Preparation

Step 1

1. Cut the fish into small pieces and then grind it up in a food processor, or pound it in a mortar and pestle until it's a paste.

Step 2

2. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, and add the rest of the ingredients (except the oil). For a more spicy taste, add a bit more red curry paste.

Step 3

3. Using your hands, knead the mixture until it’s sticky enough to make patties about 2 inches wide and ½ inch thick.

Step 4

4. Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan at a medium or high heat. Add the fish cakes and fry until they are golden brown on both sides.
Remove the fish cakes and drain them on paper towels.

Step 5

Serve with chilli sauce for seafood.
