• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Rice flour - 3 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

2. Add the chopped green beans, red curry paste, fresh coriander, lime juice, rice flour, salt, and black pepper to the crumbled tofu.
3. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined, forming a sticky mixture.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
5. Using your hands, form the tofu mixture into small patties, about 2.5 cm in diameter.
