Ingredients

  • 3 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 75 g Thai sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 tsp fish sauce
  • 425 g tuna in spring water, drained
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 5 g coriander, chopped
  • 40 g dried breadcrumbs
  • 1 celery stick, finely chopped
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Method

  1. Wash, peel and dice the potatoes, place them in a medium-sized pan of water, bring to a boil over a high heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until soft and cooked through.

  2. Remove the potatoes from the heat, drain, place into a large mixing bowl and mash. Then, pour them into a large mixing bowl.

  3. Add the grated ginger and lemon zest and the drained tuna into the bowl of potatoes and stir until well-mixed.

  4. Wash and chop the celery and coriander and add to the bowl. Lastly, mix in the sweet chilli sauce, fish sauce and egg.

  5. Mix until well-combined, divide the mixture into four, and with slightly damp hands, shape each portion into four evenly sized patties.

  6. Over a medium heat, add and heat the olive oil in a griddle pan; carefully place the fish cakes into the pan and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  7. Serve with salad leaves, extra sweet chilli sauce and lemon wedges.
