For the Fish Cakes:
1 pound skinless barramundi fillets, cut into large chunks
2 tablespoons red curry paste
4 kaffir lime leaves, finely chopped
1 egg
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon corn starch
1/2 cup thinly sliced Chinese long beans or green beans
Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Cucumber Relish:
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
1-2 Thai bird chiles, thinly sliced
1 shallot, minced
2 tablespoons finely minced cilantro
Crushed peanuts, for garnish, optional

1
Place the barramundi pieces, curry paste, kaffir lime leaves, egg white, fish sauce and cornstarch into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to break everything up, scrape down the sides, then let it run until it forms a smooth puree, about one minute. Stir in the sliced Chinese long beans, then cover and place in the refrigerator while you prepare the cucumber relish.
2
Whisk together the sugar, fish sauce and vinegar in a medium bowl until the sugar has fully dis-solved. Add the cucumber, chiles, shallot and cilantro and toss to combine. Pour into a serving bowl and top with crushed peanuts if desired.
3
Rub your hands with a little bit of oil, then form the mixture into approximately 18 small patties. Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the patties in batches until golden brown on both sides, then transfer to paper towels to drain.
4
Transfer the fish cakes to a platter with the bowl of cucumber relish on the side. Serve immediately.
