Instructions

  1. For the fishcakes, put the fish into a mini food processor and blitz to a coarse paste. Add the curry paste, sugar, fish sauce and lime zest and blitz until combined. Scrape into a bowl and mix in the green beans and coriander. Using damp hands, shape the mixture into 6 balls then press gently to flatten.
  2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium heat and fry the fishcakes for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.
  3. Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce. Whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar and sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the garlic, then add the chilli and cucumber.
  4. To make the salad, combine the cucumber, onion, radish and herbs. Drizzle over the lime juice and toss to combine.
  5. Serve the fishcakes with the salad and dipping sauce.
