Thai Fish Cakes

This is the basic fish cake recipie I have used for years, I think it originally came from a Keens's booklet.

 

Serve with lime, coriander and peanuts, or a dipping sauce made from lime, fish sauce, water, sugar, and chilli.  You can omit the chillies, coriander and spring onions from the food processor and add them in with the beans if you like to have them more authentic - looking.  In Thailand they are mixed by hand.
