Thai fish cakes are a vibrant embodiment of the rich flavors and aromas of Thai cuisine. This recipe has its roots in the street food traditions of Thailand, where fresh seafood is combined with bold spices. The cakes are made from tender white fish fillet mixed with red curry paste, cilantro, and fish sauce, giving them an exotic, spicy taste. Green onions and beans add texture and freshness. Fried to a golden color, they are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. They are best served with sweet chili sauce that beautifully complements the dish's spiciness. Thai fish cakes are perfect for friendly gatherings or family meals, filling the atmosphere with the aromas of Southeast Asia.
