Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 1 medium Red chilli (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Fresh coriander (chopped)
- 2 Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 150 ml Sweet chilli sauce (store-bought or homemade, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped red chilli, garlic, fish sauce, lime zest, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, chopped coriander, and sliced green onions.
Mix everything together thoroughly until the mixture is well-combined and slightly sticky.
Using lightly oiled hands, shape the mixture into patties about 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter and 1.5 cm (0.5 inch) thick. You should get about 8-10 chicken cakes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Fry the chicken cakes in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Transfer the cooked chicken cakes onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Thai chicken cakes warm with sweet chilli sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with extra fresh coriander if desired.
