Thai-Style Pork Patties

You could also add a 1/2 cup of chopped mung bean sprouts or green pepper to the mixture, if preferred.

1 1/2 cups cooked jasmine rice
400g minced pork
2-3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste or to taste
2 spring onions, diced
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 cup dried breadcrumbs
2-3 tablespoons canola or rice bran oil

Combine the cold cooked rice with the pork. Add the red curry paste, mixing well with a fork or with your fingers.

Add the spring onions and garlic and mix well.

Take heaped tablespoons of the mixture and form into 10 patties. Coat in breadcrumbs. Chill until required.

Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and sauté the patties 3-4 minutes each side, until cooked and golden.

Excellent served in lettuce cups with a salsa or chutney.

Serves 4-5.
