These were tasty little cakes that were a little problematic in execution. As others have stated before, the mixture is just too wet. I spooned it onto a baking pan in dollops, and ended up with 12 decent sized patties. However, as has also been previously noted, there was a lot of liquid while the cakes baked. I have the feeling that perhaps the coconut milk should be decreased. I cooked these for 25 minutes in a 400-degree oven. I actually ate these cold, as well, and they made a nice take-along lunch. Made by a Tasty Tester for ZWT9.

these are strange. didnt use coriander, (YUK) subbed parsly. they were pasty looking, very unatractive, and I tasted one hot and thought I would have to choose again. BUT when they were cold, daughter and I tasted them, and they were so darn addictive!!! she took some home and hubby and two friends said the same thing. The taste is just "ok" BUT i WANT ANOTHER ONE.<br/> I guess that makes it a 5 star, cause they all gone :)<br/>made for Aussie swap april 2012

This had great flavor! I altered it a bit because of what I had on hand. I used diced onions instead of the green onions, 1 T. ground corriander instead of fresh, 1 Tbsp. brown sugar instead of fish sauce, and I omitted the egg. I stir-fried everything together along with some broccoli-slaw (similiar to cabbage) and served it over steamed rice. I'll definitely make this again!

Yummo! I'm not sure how widely available it is outside the Asia / Pacific region but I used thick coconut milk that doesn't really resemble milk, you could turn the can upside down without any coming out. Using that the mix wasn't runny, some came out in the oven but it gave it a wonderful slightly steamed effect and I really enjoyed it because it didn't burn on the outside and hide the other great flavours going on. I made larger cakes cooked for 25 mins as a main and served along with a salad as a delicious dinner.

A flavor adventure! What a wonderful combination of flavors. I especially loved the lemongrass. I made these into larger patties for our main course. The mixture made 8 large patties. Also, I chose to pan fry them in a bit of oil. My family ate them on buns, I had mine without the bun and served sweet chili sauce on the side. Delicious! Note: the mixture was veryyyyyy runny but they turn out just fine, don't worry. I pretty much ladled the mixture, into pattie shapes, into the pan. They firmed right up upon cooking! ~Made for ZWT6 Zee Zany Zesty Cookz~
