Title: Recipe review - Fish cakes in lettuce cups, ITM2, page 107
Post by: Katiej on December 09, 2013, 10:55:11 am

I made these on Saturday to serve as the starter for an Asian dinner party we had with friends over.
I made them early in the day and left them to firm up in the fridge until I was ready to steam them.

They were easy to make. I didn't really like the texture of the mixture as it seemed a little mushy and it was hard to shape into balls. Next time I'd reduce the mixing time a little to keep the mixture slightly less blitzed. The recipe called for 200 grams of rice noodles but I think I probably only needed 1/4 of this, as I had heaps left over. I used baby cos lettuce for the lettuce cups instead of iceberg.

They were very flavoursome and everyone enjoyed them.  I even enjoyed them and I don't like fish!

Katie thanks for the review. Would you make them again?

Katie, I wonder if you could refrigerate the mixture first then make the balls once it had firmed up?  They look great.

I'm not really a fan of fish cakes of any sort. I've even tried them with fresh fish. Possibly because we were given them at boarding school and they were ghastly.
