Preparation method

Heat your Bastard to a temperature of 190 °C directly. Meanwhile, make the chili sauce. To do this, finely chop the chili pepper and ginger. Then add the water along with the rice vinegar, sugar, fish sauce and chopped or pressed garlic. Finally, add the lime juice. Let the chili sauce reduce, making sure to stir the sauce occasionally. Then let the sauce cool well and add some sweet chili sauce to taste if necessary. 

Then heat your kamado to 220 °C directly. Finely chop the prawns and whitefish in a food processor and mix in the red curry paste.

Remove the thick vein in the center of the lime leaves, then finely chop them. Mix the chopped leaves with the fish sauce, panko, eggs and salt. Add the ingredients to the food processor and mix with the fish. Cut thin rings from the spring onion and mix them into the fish mixture with a spatula. Cut the haricot verts into small pieces and blanch them briefly. Let the beans cool and finally spat them through the mixture as well.

Put a cast iron Fry Pan or Sizzling Plate on the Bastard and pour in a generous amount of sunflower oil. Do not pour the pan all the way to the brim, but make sure there is about a 1-inch layer in the pan.

Once the oil is well heated, place small amounts of flattened balls in the oil. Fry the cookies all around until golden brown.

Chop the cilantro and place the fish cakes on the Bastard Butcher Block. Sprinkle some cilantro on top and then serve along with the dipping sauce.

If desired, place some blanched samphire under the Thai fish cakes.
