Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • French knife
  • Wok
  • Metal slotted spoon
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Cilantro roots sliced
  • 1/4 cup Ginger minced
  • 2 tbsp Garlic minced
  • 10 Lime Leaves thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp Red Curry Paste
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Canola oil
  • 1/2 tsp White pepper
  • 350 g White fish fillets (cod or haddock) minced
  • 1 cup Yard beans thinly sliced

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro roots, ginger, garlic, lime leaves, red curry paste, soy sauce, canola oil and white pepper. Stir well.
  • Add the minced white fish and yard long beans. Cover and let refrigerate for 1 hour to marinate.
  • Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls then smush them into little pancakes with the palms of your hand. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • In a large wok over high heat, heat 2 cups of canola oil for deep frying. When the oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium. Working in batches of 15 fish balls at a time, use a slotted metal spoon to carefully drop the fish balls, one at a time, into the hot oil and deep-fry until they turn brown and oil starts to sizzle, 2-3 minutes.
  • Use the slotted spoon to transfer the balls to a plate lined with paper towel to drain off the excess oil. Repeat until all fish balls have been cooked.
  • Serve Thai Fish Cakes with sweet chili sauce.
