The Story
Thai fish cakes - tod mun pla - come from Thailand's coastal and riverside cooking, where the day's catch was pounded with a red curry paste and herbs, then fried into small, springy cakes. Their slightly bouncy texture is deliberate, the mark of a properly made fish cake.
What sets them apart is that the spice and herbs are worked right into the mixture rather than added as a sauce - so the flavour runs through every bite. They're traditionally served with a cucumber relish that cools and sharpens against the fried cake.
Kat makes hers fresh in-house rather than buying them in, with the spice built into the cake and a scattering of peanuts for texture - a genuine taste of Thailand's coastal kitchens, in St Albans.
