Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g white fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia)
- 2 tbsp red curry paste
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 large egg
- 80 g green beans, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 250 ml vegetable oil (for frying)
- 100 g smooth peanut butter
- 150 ml coconut milk
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp chopped roasted peanuts
Instructions
Place the white fish fillets, red curry paste, fish sauce, and egg in a food processor and blend until smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the finely chopped green beans, cilantro, and lime zest. Mix well.
Using wet hands to prevent sticking, shape the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the fish cakes in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
To make the hot peanut dip, combine the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar in a small saucepan over low heat.
Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped roasted peanuts before serving.
Serve the fish cakes warm with the hot peanut dip on the side.
