Thai fish cakes with Asian greens
One of my favorite go to, quick, nutritious meals. Perfect for a busy family of 4, or half the recipe for one, and have left overs for lunch!
Fish cakes
600 g boneless, skinless white fish fillets
2 eggs
1 tbsp Red curry paste, 2 tbsp if you want it spicy
2 tbsp fish sauce
zest of 1 lemon
2 tbsp chopped coriander
Combine all ingredients in a food processor, pulse 4-5 times - don’t over process!
Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and working in patches, shallow fry tablespoons of the mixture over medium heat for around 2 minutes each side. Keep warm in the oven.
Dipping Sauce:
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 tsp honey (optional)
1 clove garlic minced
Place all ingredients in a jar and shake to combine.
Asian Greens:
1 head broccoli
2 cups beans (sugar snaps or green beans)
1 cup edamame beans
1 cup cabbage or bok choy)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
1 tsp grated ginger
salt to taste
1 tbsp sesame oil
Cut the broccoli into small florets, peel and slice the stalk.
Heat the olive oil in wok or frying pan, add the vegetables and cook, stirring for 2-3 minutes. If you use the bok choy add it now together with the garlic, ginger, salt and sesame oil and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Serve straight away.
