Easy Thai Fish Cakes

-
Fish cakes come in all shapes and sizes, but one's we love the most here at Gandey World Class Productions is the simple Thai Fish Cake.  They are so quick and easy to make, yet pack a tasty punch at the dinner table. With a small selection of ingredients blended with key herbs and spices, the Thai Fish Cake recipe is certainly one to get your hands dirty with!

To make this effortless dish, you will need:

  • 500g (1lb) skinless, boneless salmon fillet
  • 2 tbsp Thai fish sauce
  • 1tbsp Thai red curry paste
  • 1tsp finely grated lime zest
  • 1tbsp finely chopped coriander
  • 1 egg white
  • 1tsp caster sugar
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 2tbsp vegetable oil

Pop all of the ingredients (apart from the vegetable oil, you'll need that later) into a blender and give it a whizz until it's a lumpy paste. You can blend it a bit finer if you like, but we like our easy fish cakes with a little bit to chew on! Take the mixture out and get your hands sticky by forming up to 16 patties out of the goo. This is a great recipe to do with the kids as they can really get stuck in. You can also adapt the spices and add little bits of veg if you like to get their 5 a day, we found that sweetcorn is a delightful addition to the recipe too. 

Fry the fish cakes in the vegetable oil for around 10 minutes, until they are crisp and golden on the outside.  And you're done, ready to eat! You can serve them up with a variety of sides from broccoli and greens to mashed up carrot and potato (our favourite.) 

You can also make the fish cakes into dippy shapes and serve with some ketchup, chilli sauce or even whip up a quick Satay Sauce by combining peanut butter with fish sauce and coconut milk. 

*Top Tip: You can also freeze these fish cakes to cook at a later date, so making them in bigger batches proves more cost effective in the long run!

If making your own Thai dishes isn't for you then never fear, if you visit one of our Lady Boys of Bangkok shows in the lavish Sabai Pavilion you can enjoy a freshly prepared Thai meal made by our resident chef instead!

A brief history of clowns to celebrate Andreea's birthday!

Hip hip hooray! It’s our crazy clown Andreea’s birthday! The lovable Andreea has been appearing in shows with Gandeys Circus for nearly a decade. Now Andreea is actually French – so perhaps we should say ‘bon anniversaire’! We’re proud to have Andreea as part of our current team in the big top at Butlin’s Skegness . While our other clowns – currently performing at Butlin’s Bognor Regis and Minehead – Bippo and Chico Rico are more traditional, Andreea opts to show off her sense of style with an offbeat modern look. We think her pink tutu / Converse / blazer combo is pretty iconic… especially paired with her blasting boombox! (she’s never been shy of making an entrance). Andreea likes interrupting the action with her silly routines. And you know something else… she is the UK’s only female clown! So you could say she’s a bit of an innovator when it comes to clowning around. With that in mind, let’s look at how much clowns have changed ov...

Origins of the Chinese Circus

200 BC – 200 AD – Han Dynasty, Sichuan Province – Juggler with balls and knives – Carving, stone of the “Hundred Games.” [source: Chinese Acrobatics Through The Ages, p15] The origins of the Chinese circus are not entirely crystal clear. There are debates and differing opinions when it comes to the exact history behind the circus, which is not a surprise when you take into account how long it has been around! First records of the Chinese circus - including carvings and mural paintings - date back more than 2,000 years to the Warring States period (475–221 BC), with evidence of performances developing further during the Qin and Han Dynasties (221 BC - 230 AD). Although it is believed that the art may have actually started around 3,000 years ago! One theory is that the acts originated in imperial courts, with performers entertaining the houses in a manner similar to western court jesters. However, it is more likely that the circus was a folk art that was later adopted by...

In honour of International Women's Day and the 'Women in Circus' movement, we would like to share these photos of strong women with whom we have worked - past and present. Women who inspire us here at Gandey World Class Productions , and who influence and empower other women across the world. There are many strong circus women who we have not mentioned here. Please be aware that this list is by no means definitive – there are so many more strong women whom we would have loved to include, and who remain an important part of the Gandey family. The pictures can also be found in a Flickr album here .
