Thai Fishcakes 泰式魚餅
It is one of my favourite Thai snacks, deep-fry fishcakes. They are so delicious, aromatic and little bit spicy, a great appetitizer! Usually in Thai restaurant I must order the snack platter, they have spring rolls, shrimp cakes, fishcakes and chicken. The fishcakes are a bit spicy because it has red curry paste in it, and give it a strong aromantic flavour. With some long beans and fish meat, a rich texture after deep fry.
It is so easy to make that you can easily make it at home. What you need is fishmeat, as I can’t find the fresh fish, I would use the fish paste instead. And you can go to Asian grocery store to buy all the ingredients like lemograss, kaffir lime leaves. They are the secret ingredients to taste like authentic Thai food.
It is not as difficiult as you think, try it and you will love it!
