Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Chop the white fish fillets into small pieces.
- Roughly chop the coriander leaves.
- Remove seeds from the red hot chili peppers and chop finely.
- Trim the ends off the green beans and finely slice them.
- In a food processor, combine the chopped white fish, coriander leaves, chopped chili peppers, fish sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, and egg white. Process until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add the sliced green beans and mix well until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- With wet hands (to prevent sticking), take small portions of the mixture and shape them into patties about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter.
- Place the formed fishcakes on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a small amount of oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the fishcakes in batches. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the cooked fishcakes and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- In a small bowl, pour the salsa sauce. You can serve this directly as a dipping sauce, or you can modify the salsa to taste by adding ingredients such as chopped coriander, a splash of lime juice, or additional chili for heat.
- Arrange the fishcakes on a serving plate and garnish with extra coriander leaves if desired.
- Serve with the prepared salsa dipping sauce on the side.
Tips:
- For the best texture, use a food processor to blend the fish and ingredients until just combined, ensuring the mixture is not too smooth.
- Chill the fishcake mixture for at least 30 minutes before shaping and frying to help them hold together better during cooking.
- Use wet hands to shape the fishcakes, as this prevents the mixture from sticking to your hands.
- Fry the fishcakes in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
- Serve the fishcakes hot with the salsa dipping sauce for the best flavor experience.
These Thai fishcakes with dipping sauce are a wonderful addition to any meal, bursting with flavors and easy to prepare. The combination of the fresh white fish, aromatic herbs, and spicy peppers creates a distinctive and irresistible dish. Serve them at your next gathering and watch how they become an instant favorite.
