Simple Recipe: Golden Fish Cakes

A recipe that is affordable (less than S$10) and easy to make! It makes for a perfect snack or appetizer for a hot day.

Ingredients
1 boneless cod fillet (I bought mine frozen for $8)
1 medium potato
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
water
parsley
chives, chopped
salt
black pepper
1 tablespoon mayonaise
1/2 tablespoon mustard

Method

1. Boil the potato until it's cooked. In a separate pot, put in the cod fillet, pour in water until the liquid covers the cod fillet completely. Cook the fillet at medium heat until it's done.

2. Remove the potato skin and then dice or shred the potato.

3. Remove the cod fillet from the pot and let it cool. Dry the cod fillet with kitchen napkins and using your fingers, flake the fillet. Be sure not to make the flakes too small.

4. In a bowl, mix the cod fillet flakes, potato and the remaining ingredients with your hands. The mixture should be sticky enough to mold into balls, if not, add more breadcrumbs.

5. Mold the mixture into cakes.

6. Heat the oil. Put the molded fish cakes into the hot oil and fry it until it turns golden brown on both sides.
