Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels and cut into chunks.

  2. Step 2

    Add fish to a food processor with curry paste, fish sauce, and lime juice. Pulse until roughly combined.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer fish mixture to a bowl. Fold in egg, green onions, cilantro, chilies, and long beans until just combined.

    Form mixture into 12 patties about 2 inches wide and 0.75 inches thick. Chill for 10 minutes.
