How to Make Asian Bean Cakes

1. Combine 1 (15-ounce) can of drained and rinsed beans, 2 tablespoons of green curry paste, 1/4 cup of shredded kaffir lime leaves, 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro, and 1/4 cup of thinly sliced green onions in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture just comes together, being careful not to over-process.
2. Season the bean mixture generously with salt and pepper to taste. Form the mixture into 6 patties, approximately 5cm in diameter.
3. Lightly dust each bean cake in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the bean cakes in the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
5. Serve the crispy bean cakes immediately with your favorite Asian salad and a generous drizzle of sweet chili sauce. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
