Thai Fish Cake Burger

The Thai Fish Cake Burger combines the aromatic flavors of Thai herbs and spices with the satisfying texture of fish cakes, all nestled between two soft burger buns. It's a protein-packed meal that's both delicious and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

• white fish fillet (e.g., cod or tilapia) - 200 grams
• green beans - 50 grams, finely chopped
• red curry paste - 2 tablespoons
• fish sauce - 1 tablespoon
• lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• egg - 1, beaten
• bread crumbs - 50 grams
• burger buns - 2
• mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons
• sliced cucumber - 50 grams
• sliced tomato - 50 grams
• oil for frying - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a food processor, combine the fish fillet, green beans, red curry paste, fish sauce, lime juice, and cilantro. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky.
2. Transfer the fish mixture to a bowl and mix in the beaten egg and bread crumbs until fully incorporated. Form the mixture into two burger patties.
3. Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the fish cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. While the fish cakes are cooking, toast the burger buns lightly.
5. Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, adding the fish cake, followed by sliced cucumber and tomato. Place the top half of the bun on top.
6. Serve immediately with your favorite side.
