Ingredients:

Step 1: Preparing the Fish Cake Mixture

Hello, all my fellow cooking enthusiasts! Today, I'm thrilled to share a recipe close to my heart – the beloved Thai Fish Cakes, a dish that perfectly encapsulates the essence of Thai cuisine. First and foremost, gather your fish fillets, egg, fish sauce, corn flour, red curry paste, red chillies, and fresh coriander leaves. Once you've got everything on your counter, it's blender time! Combining these ingredients in a blender until it forms a thick paste is absolutely key to getting that authentic texture and flavor. Let the vibrant colors and intoxicating aromas transport you to the bustling streets of Bangkok. And remember, the consistency of your paste makes all the difference in forming those perfectly tender fish cakes later on. So, blend away until you achieve a smooth, cohesive mixture.
Pro Tip: For an extra kick, add a teaspoon of lime zest to the mixture.

Step 2: Forming the Patties

After blending your fish cake mixture, it's time to integrate the textures that will make each bite a delight. Transfer the blended paste into a mixing bowl. Now, let's add a bit more crunch and freshness to our cakes with the finely chopped spring onion and green beans. Evenly distribute them throughout your fish mixture, ensuring every patty gets a bit of that crunch. Next, with wet palms to prevent sticking, meticulously form the mixture into round patties, which not only looks professional but also ensures even cooking. The size is entirely up to you, whether you prefer bite-sized delights or more substantial portions. Remember to place them on parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make your cooking process as smooth as possible.
Pro Tip: Chilling the patties for 10 minutes before cooking helps them hold their shape better.
