Thai Fish Cakes (tod Mun Pla)

"Tod Mun Pla, or Thai Fish Cakes, are a delicious and savory treat packed with the vibrant flavors of Thailand. Made with fresh fish, red curry paste, green beans, and fragrant kaffir lime leaves, this recipe comes together in under 30 minutes, making it a perfect option for a quick appetizer or snack. The fish is blended into a smooth paste with curry and seasoning, then combined with finely chopped green beans for a slight crunch. Shaped into small patties, they are fried until golden and crispy on the outside, while remaining tender and flavorful on the inside. Serve these fish cakes with a side of sweet chili sauce or a tangy cucumber relish for a refreshing contrast. They make an excellent starter for Thai-inspired meals or a satisfying snack for any occasion. To elevate the flavors further, use fresh herbs and authentic Thai curry paste for the best results. For a tip, wet your hands slightly before shaping the fish cakes to prevent sticking and ensure even frying. Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less red curry paste. These fish cakes are best enjoyed fresh and hot, but leftovers can be reheated in an oven for a crisp finish. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply craving a taste of Thailand, Tod Mun Pla is a crowd-pleaser that's sure to impress!"
