Step 1
Warm the cooked rice in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Combine minced fish, lemongrass, shallot, chili crisp, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix gently with your fingers until just combined.
Step 3
Divide mixture into 4 portions. Wet your hands, then mold each portion around the length of a chopstick or skewer (or press into patties).
Step 4
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Carefully slide the fish cakes off the sticks into the pan.
Step 5
Cook 3-4 minutes per side without moving, until edges are golden and fish is cooked through. Check that the thickest part is opaque.
Step 6
Divide rice between bowls, top with 2 fish cakes per serving, and squeeze fresh lime over the top.
