We pan fried this classic Thai appetizer, which is traditionally deep-fried. Red Curry and Fish Sauce give them a true Thai flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Lite Coconut Milk, divided
  • 1 tablespoon Red Curry Paste
  • 1 1/3 lbs fish fillets, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 teaspoons Fish Sauce
  • Oil or cooking spray (to grease pan)
  • Optional: A Taste of Thai Garlic Chili Pepper Sauce or Sweet Chili Sauce

Directions

  1. Dissolve Red Curry Paste in 1/4 cup of warm Coconut Milk. Add dissolved curry, remaining Coconut Milk, fish fillets, flour, cilantro, lime juice, egg and Fish Sauce to a food processor fitted with a metal blade.
  2. Pulse until mixture is minced but not puréed. Do not over process or cakes will be dense.
  3. Lightly oil a non-stick skillet and heat over a medium heat. Using two spoons form fish cakes into rounds and drop into skillet. Flatten slightly.
  4. Fry each side approximately 3-4 minutes or until cooked through. Serve with favorite dipping sauce, or our authentic Thai Garlic Chili Pepper Sauce or Sweet Chili Sauce.
