Ingredients
Fish fillet 400 g
Minced pork 200 g
Spring onions 1 stalk
Tapioca starch 1 tablespoon
Turmeric powder 1 tablespoon
Baking powder 1 tablespoon
Cooking oil 300 ml
Implementation Steps
01
Give the fish another rinse to be safe, then cut it into small pieces so it's easier to grind.
Add the minced pork to the bowl of fish and season with:
- 2 tablespoons of fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1 tablespoon of tapioca starch
- 1/4 tablespoon of turmeric powder
- 1/4 tablespoon of pepper
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- A little finely chopped spring onion
Mix well, cover with cling film and refrigerate for about 1 hour to give the meat a smooth, springy texture.
02
After an hour in the fridge, put all the meat into a food processor and blend until smooth (if your processor is small, work in batches).
Shape the paste into thin, even, neat patties.
03
Add the patties to a pan of hot oil (fry over medium heat so they cook evenly) and fry until golden, then lift them out onto paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Homemade fish cakes are springy, smooth and hygienic – delicious with hot steamed rice and sweet and sour sauce or salt, pepper and lime for dipping.
