FISH
1. Remove the outer leaves of the lemongrass and discard the tough base. Slice the
soft inner core and set aside.
2. Deseed the chili peppers and set aside.
3. Process the lemongrass in the mini bowl for 40 seconds. Add the chili peppers and
run for a further 5-10 seconds.
4. Put the fish in the main bowl with the metal blade, followed by the chili-lemongrass
mixture and all the other ingredients. Season to taste. Pulse 7-10 times to obtain an
even consistency.
5. Shape the mixture into balls measuring 3 cm across. Flatten with your hand.
6. Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the cakes for about 2 minutes on each side.
Chef’s tip: delicious with a sweet-and-sour sauce. For a crunchier texture, add
raw green beans.
