Step 1

Place fish, red curry paste, cilantro/coriander, fish sauce, lime and egg in a food processor. Whizz until the fish is minced and it looks like a paste. (See video)

Step 2

Transfer to a bowl and stir through rice flour and green beans until flour is all incorporated. (Note 4)

Step 3

Measure 1/4 cup of mixture (I use an ice cream scoop - Note 5), form 1cm / 2/5" thick patties.

Step 4

Heat enough oil in skillet over medium high heat to cover the base (4 tbsp or so)

Step 5

Place in oil, cook 2 minutes until deep golden brown, then turn and cook the other side for 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towel lined plate.

Step 6

Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil into the skillet if required.

Step 7

Serve with Sweet Chilli Sauce, garnished with cilantro/coriander leaves and lime wedges on the side. Add a side of Thai Fried Rice or even just plain jasmine rice to make a meal!
