Shrimp & Fish Cakes (Tod Mon) With Cucumber Condiment

Cuisine: Thai
Type: Fish
Serves: 16 people

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb 454g / 16ozLarge shrimp, peeled*
1 lb 454g / 16ozWhitefish, boneless and skinless**
1/4 lb 113g / 4ozFresh green beans, trimmed, cut into - 1/2" pieces
2 teaspoons 10mlChopped garlic
2   Eggs
2 teaspoons 10mlThai red curry paste
1/4 cup 59mlThai fish sauce
4 tablespoons 60mlCornstarch
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlSugar
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlBlack pepper
2 tablespoons 30mlChopped fresh cilantro
3 cups 711mlPeanut oil - for frying

Recipe Instructions

* chopped in food processor to a coarse paste ** Available in some Asian markets.

Combine all of the ingredients except for the cooking oil. Mix well and form into 3-inch round patties, 1/4 inch thick. Setting the thermostat to 360 degrees, heat an electric skillet, placing about 1 inch of oil in the pan. Fry each patty, turning once, until golden brown. Serve with cucumber condiment that follows.

NOTES: I have always found that the shrimp/fish mixture is too gooey to work with unless I coat each blob with some plain flour as I start to form it into a patty. I've also always made smaller patties (about 1.5 inches across and 1/2 inch thick) because this size was easier to work with. Frying in a wok also works well.
