Mince the fish using a spoon, scraping it down to the skin until it's finely chopped.

Place the minced fish in a large bowl.

Crack 1 egg into the bowl and mix it with the fish.

Add Marion's red curry paste and fish sauce to the mixture.

Chop green beans finely and add them to the bowl.

Chop lime leaves finely and add them to the mixture.

Mix everything together by hand until it's firm and sticky.

Heat oil in a pan until hot.

Shape the mixture into patties and fry them in the hot oil until golden brown, making sure not to crowd the pan.

Prepare a dipping sauce by slicing cucumber and mixing it with sweet chili sauce and crushed peanuts.

Serve the fish cakes hot with the dipping sauce.
