Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, panko breadcrumbs, fish sauce, red curry paste, minced garlic, grated ginger, green onions, chopped cilantro, and lime zest.
Use clean hands or a spoon to mix the ingredients thoroughly until fully combined.
Form the mixture into small patties, about 7-8 cm (3 inches) in diameter, and set aside on a plate.
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
