Looking for that great recipe to bring to the family potluck over the holidays? Need an appetizer that is unforgettable? Check out BT TV on Monday December 21, 2009 and watch me, Ellen Pruden, create the Thai white fish cakes.  They can either be an appetizer or you can make them slightly larger and serve it with salad.  Fresh pickerel, trout or any white fish works great in this recipe.

2 cup
Panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
 500 mL
4
green onions
 4
1 1/2 tsp
jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
 7 mL
1/2
red pepper, finely chopped
 1/2
2 Tbsp
basil, finely chopped
 30 mL
2 Tbsp
cilantro, finely chopped
 30 mL
1 Tbsp

 15 mL
1

1 Tbsp
fish sauce
 15 mL
1 Tbsp
canola oil
 15 mL
 
canola oil, enough for frying
  
1/3 cup
sweet chili sauce
 75 mL

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine white fish, green onion, jalapeno, red pepper, basil, cilantro and mint. Gently mix together. Add egg and fish sauce. Stir to combine. Add panko breadcrumbs and blend together. Let sit for 5 minutes. Divide into 8 cakes. Heat canola oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add cakes; fry for 6 minutes on each side or until golden brown or until fish is cooked through. Serve with sweet chili sauce.

Tips for frying:
Canola oil optimal deep-frying temperature is 375 F. Preheat the oil to about 15 F higher than its optimal deep-frying temperature to ensure that the oil remains at optimal frying temperature when you place the food in the oil. Canola oil has a high smoke point of 475 F.

      Hi Vivian
      You can get Panko breadcrumbs at Safeway and Superstores. You can always get them at the different Asian grocery stores. Panko breadcrumbs might be called Japanese breadcrumbs.
