This is a very popular dish in Thai cooking. Thai Fish Cake makes a great snack especially when you dipped it in spicy sweet chili sauce. You can serve this with rice or with some cucumber and carrots pickle.Ingredients for the Fish Cakes

1. Put the fish in a food processor and pulse for a few times until it became a paste.
2. Remove and mix in all the rest of the ingredients and set aside for half an hour.
3. Take a spoonful of the mixture and form it into a round flat disk.
4. Drop fish cake into hot oil and fry until golden brown.
5. Remove from oil and drain on paper towel.
6. Serve fish cakes with sweet chili sauce or some cucumber pickle.
Ingredients for Cucumber & Carrots Pickle1 cucumber - thinly sliced
1 carrot - thinly sliced
1 red chili - thinly sliced
3 tbsp of sugar
1/2 cup of white vinegar
1/2 tsp of salt
some ground peanuts - for garnish

Yatie, I used the one from the bottle. You can buy those Thai spicy sweet chili sauce from the Asian store. Check it out the next time you are there :)
Lesley, I've eaten this too at one of the Thai restaurant near my friend place but I find it too expensive. 4 pieces for $5.49. Better make it myself :)
Pinky, you can make this with ikan tenggiri :)
Kath, hope you like it!

BBO, I like the fragrant of the kafir lime leaves in it.
Jaya, thanks for stopping by and your comment. Will swing over to your blog later :)
Jenn, thank you :)
Dee, I will make some for you soon :)
Nor, thanks for stopping by and your kind comment :) Staying here I don't have a choice but have to cook everything myself especially when I 'gian' our Malaysian food. I don't think I am able to handle Ramsay's swearing and cursing at me. I probably will hit him with a frying pan :) :) By the way, do drop by often :)
One of my fav Thai appetizers :) Sounds so easy to make.
The weird thing is...they don't have this fish cake in Thai restaurants here in Taiwan. :(
im not sure if they have this at the thai restaurant coz id only order the whole fish. lol. but this sounds good too. next time il try to get some fish fillet. ;)
Tigerfish, maybe the restaurant there serve different kind of Thai food :)
Farina, we usually order this as appetizer. I also like their fried whole fish and then dip in sweet and sour sauce :)
I have always had them in restaurants. Maybe now is the time to make it in my kitchen.
