How to Make Spicy Thai Fish Cakes
- Cut 1 pound of firm white fish (such as cod or tilapia) into chunks.
- In a food processor, combine the fish chunks with 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1-2 red chilies finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference), 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1/4 cup breadcrumbs. Pulse using the on/off technique until finely minced but not a paste.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
- Using wet hands, form the fish mixture into 1-inch balls. Flatten each ball into a cake.
- Refrigerate the fish cakes, covered, for at least 1 hour to firm up.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the fish cakes for approximately 1 minute per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Serve immediately with your favorite Thai dipping sauce (many recipes are available online).
