Thai Fish Patties

Thai Fish Patties with hot chilli sauce and salad.
It's time for my next recipe from The Cooking Game (see previous post about my cooking game). Thanks to two numbers my son chose for me I prepared myself to cook Thai Fish Patties for dinner tonight.
Because I am also watching our food budget I made a couple of substitutions where the recipe had a different flavour. But that is the beauty of creating in your own kitchen.
Remove the skin and bones from 250g of white fish fillets and put in a food processor with a cup of cooked rice, 1/2 cup of green beans, a sliced stalk of lemon grass, 2 crushed garlic cloves, a chopped red chilli, one chopped coriander plant including the roots, 2 teaspoons fish sauce and one beaten egg.
Process until smooth but don't overmix. Shape heaped tablespoonfuls of mixture into patties then fry a few at a time in 1cm of oil until golden brown on both sides.
Drain on absorbent paper and serve with pickled cucumber salad. I served it with a simple salad.
(Ref:Easy Thai Cooking, The Custom Book Company, )
I substituted the lemon grass with shallots and skipped the coriander plant. The taste probably wasn't as zingy, but it was eaten with gusto by my family which is more than I can say for the last dish (see post on Potato, Apple and Rocket soup).
My next pair of numbers I got from my husband's t-shirt so should be an interesting recipe.
