The idea for this dish came from Thai Fishcake. I used to fry it. This time round, I made them in satay style and grilled them. It's more interesting this way and prettier. ;)
I think they look really nice with the lemon grass. I'm considering this as one of the dishes I'll make if I have friends over for dinner next time.
Ingredients:
- 150g Prawn (after shelled), minced
- 150g Fish Paste or fillet (after skinned and debone), minced
- Extra 10 Lemongrass as sticks
Blend into paste:
- 1 Fresh Red Chilli, cored (more if you want it hot)
- 3 Shallot
- 1/2 stalk Lemongrass (white part only)
- 2 clove Garlic
- Ginger, size of fingertip
- 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 3/4 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Lime Juice
How to do it:
- Mix prawn and fish paste together
- Set aside till ready to use.
- Blend or pound chilli, shallot, lemongrass, garlic and ginger till paste like.
- Mix in the Turmeric Powder.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in wok.
- Fry the paste till fragrant.
- Add in the seasonings and continue cooking till well blended.
- Dish and set aside to cool.
- Mix cooled spiced with prawn and fish paste.
- Oil your hands and scoop some mixed paste.
- Mould it to the end part of the lemongrass.
- Heat and oil your grill pan.
- Grilled them till completely cooked.
- Serve.
Note:
You can cheat by cutting 1 lemongrass into half, then you can buy lesser. ;)
