Gok's Thai Fish Cakes Are The Ultimate Southeast Asian Crowd Favorite | Gok Wan's Easy Asian

Unfortunately it was also the time when this wonderful Thai dish got a bad reputation. Fish cakes were served in breadcrumbs undercooked or overcooked or served with everything from ketchup to heated peanut butter which was presented as "Satay Sauce".

The reason for this chaos is that people think that Thai fish cakes are too easy a recipe: chop up some fish add a little of this and that and a little ready-made curry paste deep-fry the fish and dip it in all sorts of dishes.

This is clearly not the symphony of flavors used in authentic Thai versions. There are countless ingredients and many steps needed to prepare the ideal fish cake. All these steps and processes may seem laborious to some but if you follow them this way you will see that it is a very enjoyable process and the end result is more than worth it.
