Ingredients
| Fish Cakes: 3 stalks Coriander Leaves (chopped) | |
| 3 stalks Spring Onions (chopped) | |
| 3 Kaffir Lime Leaves (finely sliced) | |
| 1 Big Red Chilli (finely chopped) | |
| 4 tins Tuna (150g per tin) | |
| 1 tbsp Ginger (grated) | |
| 2 tsp Fish Sauce | |
| ½ tsp Salt | |
| ¼ tsp Black Pepper | |
| 2 Eggs | |
| ½ cup Vegetable Oil | |
| Dipping Sauce: ½ tsp Caster Sugar | |
| 2 tbsp Fish Sauce | |
| ½ tbsp Lime Juice | |
| 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar | |
| 2 tbsp Coriander Leaves | |

Instructions
- Chop the coriander leaves, spring onions, lime leaves, red chilli & place them in the mixing bowl.
- Drain the tuna from the can & add it into the mixing bowl with the ginger, fish sauce, salt, pepper & the beaten eggs. Mix well.
- Take a handful of the tuna mix and squeeze out any excess liquid. You can use a sieve to help strain the excess liquid. Shape the tuna mix into golf ball sized balls then flatten them slightly into patties.
- Heat ½ cup vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Then fry the tuna patties for 1 - 2 mins on each side until they are golden brown. Remove from heat & drain on some kitchen paper.
- For the dipping sauce, combine the sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar & chopped coriander leaves in a small bowl. Serve with the tuna patties.
NB: We used tuna flakes in water for this recipe, so don’t worry if they do crumble and flake a little when you bite into them, that is exactly the texture you should get.
