Pan-Fried Tod Mun with Green Bean Crunch
Spicy Thai Style Fish Cakes, known as Tod Mun in Thailand, are a popular street food snack made from blended seafood, fragrant herbs and kaffir lime leaf. These Spicy Thai Style Fish Cakes combine white fish, prawns and squid for a naturally sweet, bouncy texture, finished with finely sliced green beans for signature crunch.
The secret to authentic Thai fish cakes is drying the seafood thoroughly before blending. Removing excess moisture creates a firm paste that fries to a crisp golden exterior while staying soft and springy inside. Pan frying gives you a lighter finish while still delivering that satisfying caramelised crust.
