Thai Fish Cakes
Serves 4

Ingredients

4 medium flathead fillets,
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon chopped chillies
2 tablespoons chopped coriander
2 tablespoons shredded coconut
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
1 kaffir lime leaf, sliced thinly
1 teaspoon fish sauce
2 spring onions, chopped
1/4 cup sesame seeds, (optional)
1 tablespoon canola oil

Method

1. Process the fish, egg, chilli and coriander in a food processor until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and combine with the coconut, seasoning and spring onions. If you have time, refrigerate the fish mixture for 15 minutes before forming into cakes and you will find the mixture firmer and easier to handle.
2. Form the mixture into small cakes and, if using, roll them in the sesame seeds.
3. Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a non-stick frypan over a medium heat and cook half the fish cakes until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Add the remaining oil to the pan and cook the rest of the fish cakes.
4. Arrange the salad on serving plates and top with the fish cakes.

1 cup chicken stock
1 cup frozen or fresh peas

1. Scrub the mussel shells and remove the beards. Place into a large pan with ½ cup water. Cover and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally. Discard any mussels which do not open in this time. Peel and devein the prawns, leaving the tails intact.

5. Add the prawns, scallops and mussels to the rice, and very gently stir through. Cover and cook for a further 3 minutes or until the seafood is heated through. Serve immediately.
