Ingredients

  • 1 pound fish paste store bought or homemade
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil like vegetable oil or avocado oil
  • 1 bunch green onions chopped
  • 10 sprigs cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Place the fish paste in a large bowl.
  • Add the oil, chopped green onions, and chopped cilantro.
  • Mix until all the ingredients are evenly combined. I like to use chopsticks to do this step.
  • In a large pan over medium-high heat, add a little oil. Then use a spoon to scoop some of the fish paste (about 2 tablespoons).
    Note: because the mixture is sticky, use a second spoon to help push the fish paste off the first spoon and onto the pan.
  • Pan fry until golden brown on one side (about 2-3 minutes).
    Then gently flip and pan fry the other side. If the patties are browning too quickly, turn the heat down to medium heat.
  • Remove from the pan and place onto a plate. Eat hot and enjoy ^_^
