I love the delicate fresh flavours of Thai cooking. This recipe is a vegan twist on the classic Thai fishcake. Fish is replaced with white beans for a smooth, creamy texture that goes perfectly with the fragrant spices and the jackfruit adds texture and bite.
These are so easy to make just mash together the ingredients, then form into cakes and fry until crispy and golden. Perfect as a starter or a light lunch.
They freeze well and keep for several days in the fridge.
