Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 lb white fish fillet (such as cod or 1 lb haddock)
2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste (such as "Thai Kitchen" brand)
1 egg
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
1/2 lb fresh green beans, thinly sliced and chopped
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
1 tablespoon lime juice
vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

Finely chop fish (may use blender or food processor, or just good chopping skills).
Add curry paste through lime juice. Process or mix with your hands until finely ground and blended.
Using lightly floured hands, form about 12 small patties. Chill patties 2 hours or until firm (if you have time).
Heat deep-frying pan over high heat, add oil and fry fish cakes a few at a time. Turning carefully until browned. Drain on paper towels.
Serve alone, or will a cool sauce. I like sour cream. A cucumber relish would also be yummy.
