Thai Mussel Cakes With Stir Fried Bean Shoots Recipes

THAI MUSSEL CAKES WITH STIR-FRIED BEAN SHOOTS

Steps:

• Cook mussels, covered in a little water until opened, removing them as they do so and discarding any that don't. Remove meat and chop coarsely.
• Whisk the flours, egg, fish sauce, palm sugar and up to 60ml water to form a smooth batter. Add chopped mussels and mix well.
• Heat a thin layer of oil in a large pan and drop tablespoons of the mussel mixture in without overcrowding.
• Cook until golden on both sides, then drain well on kitchen paper towels.
• While the cakes are cooking, heat a little oil in a wok and quickly stir-fry the bean shoots, green onions and garlic until crisp-tender.
• To serve, arrange cakes on a plate, sprinkle with a little soy, mound with bean shoots and then sprinkle with chilies.
