Ingredients

  • 8 oz (230g) fish paste, I used store-bought frozen fish paste
  • 1/2 egg beaten
  • 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste Mae Ploy brand or Maesri brand
  • 5 snake beans or long beans thinly sliced
  • 5 kaffir lime leaves cut into fine thin strips

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients above to form a smooth fish paste. Make sure the red curry paste is well blended with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Heat up a pot of oil. Wet your hands and pick up the fish paste (about the size of a ping pong ball). Use your fingers and palms to flatten it and make it into a patty. Drop it into the cooking oil and fry till golden brown.
  • Repeat the same for the rest of the fish paste. Alternatively, you can prepare all the fish paste first and then deep fry all of them at once.
  • Serve the fish cakes hot with Thai cucumber salad.
