How to Make Tod Mun Goong Thai Fish And Shrimp Cakes

  1. Combine all ingredients (except oil) in a food processor and pulse until just combined, being careful not to over-process.
  2. Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
  4. Carefully place the patties in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove the cakes from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. Serve immediately with the cucumber dipping sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
  7. For the cucumber sauce: Combine all ingredients in a bowl, and stir well. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
