Recipe's preparation

  1. Add garlic, fish, red curry paste, egg, corn flour, baking powder, fish sauce, sugar to the bowl and blend speed 6 for 1 minute.
    Scrape down sides and check it is smooth in texture looking a bit like mashed pumpkin.
  2. Add lime leaves and beans. Mix reverse, speed 2 for 30 seconds.
    Scrape down sides and check for even distribution.
  3. Fry in a wok or fry pan a few at a time in about 2 cm of oil at low heat. Form the fish cakes with spoon or wet hands, making each about 1 heaped tablespoon in size. When they are a golden colour (about 3-5 minutes) drain on some paper towel. Continue until all mixture is used. It will make about 12 - 15 fish cakes.
    Serve with sweet chilli dipping sauce.

Tip

Use a soft fish. I found Basa to give the best results. I use the frozen fillets from the supermarket. Experiment with different types of fish if you want to try others as they give varying results.
Blending on high speed helps to aerate the mixture adding to the springy texture.

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 6 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 6
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
