Directions

Step 1
Pat fish fillets dry. Roughly chop the fish and place in a food processor. Add red curry paste, egg, fish sauce, and sugar. Process until a smooth, sticky paste forms.
Step 2
Transfer the fish mixture to a bowl. Fold in the finely sliced green beans and kaffir lime leaves until evenly distributed.
Step 3
With oiled hands, form the mixture into small, flat patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 0.5 inch thick.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or wok over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Carefully place a few fish cakes into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Remove fish cakes with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining patties.
Step 7
For the sauce, stir diced cucumber into sweet chili sauce. Serve hot fish cakes with the prepared sweet chili cucumber sauce.
