Spring onion
½ cup
Fresh mint
2 tsp
Fish sauce
2 tsp
Soy sauce
2 tsp
Root ginger
1 tsp
Caster sugar
1
Egg
1½ tbsp
Coconut cream
2 handfuls
Sesame seeds

Peanut oil
Salsa
1 cup

3
Limes, (zested and juiced)
1 tsp

Directions
To make the fish cakes, put the fish(roughly chopped) in a food processor with the chilli, onion, mint, fish and soy sauces, ginger(chopped), sugar, egg and coconut milk.
Pulse until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Use a hot spoon to shape into small cakes. Cover a large plate with sesame seeds and coat each cake.
Heat a frypan and add enough peanut oil to just cover the surface. Cook the fish cakes over a medium heat until the seeds are golden on both sides, being careful not to let them burn. Drain on paper towels before serving with the salsa.
To make the salsa, combine all the ingredients(melon (finely diced), limes (zested and juiced), salt, chilli, sugar and vinegar) and let sit for at least 30 minutes for the flavour to develop.
