Ingredients
Gorton's seafood
For fish cakes:
1 bag of Crunchy Breaded Fish Fillets, thawed for 30 min and roughly chopped
3 Tbsp red curry paste
2 Tbsp chopped cilantro
1 Tbsp fish sauce
Juice of one lime (about 2 Tbsp)
1 large egg
1/2 cup thinly sliced green beans (about 9)
1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying fish cakes
Coconut rice:
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup water
1 Tbsp salted butter
1 cup jasmine rice
Sweet chili dipping sauce:
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce (available in most grocery stores and asian markets)
1 cup seeded, diced cucumber
1/2 cup shredded carrot
2 Tbsp chopped cilantro
2 Tbsp chopped almond
Juice of one lime (about 2 Tbsp)
Pinch of salt
Preparation
Step 1
Open bag of Crunchy Breaded Fillets and let thaw for 30 minutes.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl add all fish cake ingredients and mix together until a patty could easily be formed. Let rest while you make coconut rice and dipping sauce.
Step 3
Heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a large, nonstick skillet on medium high until starting to sizzle. Take 1/4 cup of the fish cake mixture and form it into a patty roughly 1/2 inch thick. Add cakes to the hot oil four at a time. Cook for approx. 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from pan and let rest while repeating this step to complete the final four.
Step 4
To make coconut rice, in a medium saucepan, add coconut milk, water and butter and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Add rice, bring back to a boil, stir and cover. Reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes without removing lid. At 15-minute mark, turn off heat, remove lid, stir rice, cover and let rest for 5 more minutes. Remove lid and fluff with a fork.
Step 5
For sweet chili dipping sauce, in a medium nonreactive bowl, mix all ingredients together and set to the side for serving.
Step 6
To serve, divide rice between four plates, top with two fish cakes and top with sweet chili dipping sauce.
Cook fish cakes to an internal temperature of 165°F or higher.
