Filipino Fish Cakes are a popular street food in the Philippines, often enjoyed as a snack or appetizer with dipping sauce. They are typically made with fresh fish, vegetables, and Asian spices, then deep-fried to perfection. This recipe is a healthier version of the traditional dish, as the fish patties are pan-fried in a small amount of oil instead. Serve them with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce for a truly authentic taste experience.

2.Add the fish fillet to the bowl and mix everything together.

4.Add the flour mixture to the fish mixture and stir until well combined.
5.Stir in the fish sauce and sriracha hot sauce.
6.Add the lime soda and stir until the mixture becomes sticky.
7.In a skilletover medium heat, pour enough cooking oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
8.With a spoon or your hands, form small patties from the fish mixture and carefully place them in the hot oil.
9.Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and crispy.
10.Place the cooked patties on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve with dipping sauce, if desired.
