THAI-STYLE SHRIMP CAKES WITH SWEET CHILI DIPPING SAUCE RECIPE



Thai-Style Shrimp Cakes With Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce Recipe image

Categories     Shellfish     Appetizer     Fry

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound medium or large shrimp, shelled and de-veined
3 pieces scallions, thinly sliced
2 cloves medium garlic cloves, minced or grated
1 pieces jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
1 handful fresh cilantro leaves and tender stem
1 piece Finely grated zest of 1 lime
1 pinch Kosher salt
1 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoon cornstarch
1 piece large egg white
1/4 - 1/2 cup panko-style breadcrumb
1 Peanut or canola oil, for frying
1 sweet chili sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Coarsely chop shrimp into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside. Reserve a few tablespoons of sliced scallion greens for serving.
  • 2. Combine garlic, jalapeño, remaining scallions, cilantro, lime zest, and a large pinch of salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until everything is finely minced. Add half of the shrimp, the mayo, the cornstarch, and the egg white. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse paste, about 5 or 6 pulses. Add the remaining shrimp and pulse two or three times to combine everything. Some of the shrimp will be chunkier.
  • 3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add 1/4 cup of the panko breadcrumbs. Fold in with a spatula or your hands. The mixture should be soft and should just hold its shape if you form a ball. If it's too soft, add more breadcrumbs a little at a time until a ball just holds together. It will stiffen up more when it gets cold. Chill mixture for at least 30 minutes and up to a day.
  • 4. Once chilled, use wet hands and a tablespoon (or portioning scoop) to form the mixture into bite-sized patties. Transfer to a large plate as you go. When all the patties are formed, heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat until shimmering. Fry patties in batches until golden brown and cooked through, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes total.

Thai Fish and Shrimp Cakes - you know - that yummy appetizer at Thai restaurants, with the cucumber dipping sauce. These will wow your friends at parties - until they disappear. Or, serve with rice and a vegetable for dinner. Uses a food processor. Also, the Cucumber Sauce should be made ahead, and the fish cake part can also be made ahead.

Time 50m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 lb cod or 1/2 lb other white flakey fish
1/2 lb shrimp, peeled
1/2 medium onion
1/4 cup loosely packed cilantro
6 ounces green beans
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon sugar
oil, for pan frying
1 pickling cucumber
1 shallot
1 -2 Thai red chili pepper (the tiny bird peppers)
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped peanuts

Steps:

  • Process the onion and cilantro until chopped up. Put in a large bowl.
  • Process the fish until pasty and then the the shrimp until mostly pasty, but still somewhat coarse. Add to the bowl.
  • Slice the green beans approximately 1/8", or process them, and add.
  • Mix the cornstarch with the fish sauce, and add the curry paste, egg and sugar. Add to the bowl and mix very very well.
  • Heat some oil in a frying pan. Use a tablespoon to form small (2") patties and fry in the oil. When golden, turn over and fry the other side. Drain on paper towels, and serve hot with the Cucumber Dipping Sauce.
  • Cucumber Dipping Sauce:.
  • Cut the cucumber lengthwise in quarters, and then slice thinnish. Put in a small bowl.
  • Chop the shallots, and add.
  • Remove some of the seeds and membranes from the peppers and finely chop. Add.
  • Boil the water, vinegar and sugar together for a few minutes. Pour over the chopped veggies. Refrigerate to cool.
  • Add the peanuts when serving.
  • Notes:.
  • You could make substitutions for the flounder, or use all fish if you didn't want to use shrimp.
  • Recipe, as posted, is mildly spicy, "warm," but not very spicy "hot". It could be toned up or down by adjusting the red curry paste a bit, but the flavor is central to this dish.
  • Since I mostly serve this at parties, # of servings is very approximate. Sorry, but time is, too - I guessed. Next time I'll time it. I counted the frying as active time.

Thai-Inspired Shrimp Cakes image

These are very tasty little appetizers! Serve them alongside some sweet Thai chili sauce for dipping. They're delicious hot or at room temperature. Keep the size fairly small and flat so that they cook through quickly!

Categories     Shrimp Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound frozen medium shrimp - thawed, shelled, and deveined
1 small carrot, peeled
5 drained, canned water chestnuts, diced
3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro, or more to taste
1 large egg white
2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon fish sauce
¼ teaspoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons cooking oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Smash and mince the shrimp (don't mince too finely, you'll want some slightly larger pieces for texture).
  • Dice the carrot lengthwise. Bring a small pot of water to a boil and par-boil the carrot until just barely tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Allow to cool enough to handle, and then mince the carrot.
  • Add minced shrimp, carrot, minced water chestnuts, cilantro, egg white, rice wine vinegar, cornstarch, hoisin, sesame oil, ginger, fish sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper to the bowl of an electric stand mixer. With the flat paddle attached, set speed to medium and blend until the mixture really comes together and forms a sticky paste, about 5 minutes.
  • Heat cooking oil in a large nonstick skillet. Form small flat patties with lightly oiled spoons or hands and fry in small batches (don't overcrowd the pan). Cook until golden brown and cooked all the way through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat until all of the shrimp mixture has been used. Serve warm or at room temperature.
