Thai fish cakes with noodle salad

Redfish, usually sold skinned as fillets, is ideal for these fish cakes because of its delicate flavour. You can, however, use practically any mild-flavoured, skinless fish fillet.

2/3 cup loosely packed fresh coriander leaves

1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves

4 red thai chillies, quartered

600 gram firm white fish fillets, chopped coarsely

1 clove garlic, quartered

250 gram rice vermicelli

2 teaspoon sugar

1/4 cup (60ml) lime juice

1 tablespoon sambal oelek

1 lebanese cucumber (130g), seeded, chopped finely

100 gram snow peas, sliced thinly

Method

1.Blend or process half of the coriander, half of the mint, half of the chilli, fish, garlic and egg white until mixture forms a paste; using one hand, shape into 12 patties.

3.Meanwhile, place noodles in large heatproof bowl; cover with boiling water. Stand until just tender; drain. Keep warm.
