Thai fish balls

Cooking Fish Thai fish balls

Kids can take the plunge with these fish balls - right into a pool of sweet chilli sauce.

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Place the fish, curry paste, sugar, lime rind and fish sauce in the bowl of a food processor and process until a coarse paste forms.
  2. Transfer fish mixture to a bowl and stir in the shallot. Roll 1 heaped tablespoonful of the fish mixture into a ball. Place on a plate. Repeat with remaining fish mixture to make 18 balls.
  3. Heat half the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add half the fish balls and cook, turning often, for 5 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a baking tray. Repeat with the remaining oil and fish balls, reheating the pan between batches. Bake in oven for 10 minutes or until cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Use a little sweet chilli sauce to attach a coriander leaf to each fish ball. Serve with sweet chilli sauce for dipping.
