Fish cakes with a Thai touch

Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 750 g fish fillet(s) (cod)
  • 1 tsp curry paste (red/yellow/green as desired)
  • Soy sauce
  • some lemongrass (chopped)
  • 1 egg(s)
  • 3 tbsp breadcrumbs
  • pepper
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Wash the fish fillet, pat dry, and carefully remove the bones. Then put it through a meat grinder or chop it in a food processor. Then mix in the remaining ingredients. Since soy sauce tastes different, everyone has to experiment for themselves to find the right amount. With a teaspoon of curry paste, the meatballs taste nicely of lemongrass/lime, but they’re not particularly spicy, so if you like it spicy, feel free to add more. It’s best to take a small portion of the fish mixture and fry a “test meatball” to make it easier to season. Form the mixture into meatballs and fry them in hot oil (about 3-4 minutes on each side). The meatballs taste great with (not at all Thai) mashed potatoes and a green salad.
