Thai Fishcakes With An Oriental Salad

Children are born into God’s family and receive their inheritance not by marriage and procreation but by faith and regeneration. Which means that single people in Christ have zero disadvantage in bearing children for God and may, in some ways, have great advantage. The apostle Paul was single in Christ, and he said of his converts, “Though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your Father in Christ Jesus through the gospel” (1 Cor. 4:15). Paul was a great father and never married. And does he not speak beautifully for single women in Christ in 1 Thessalonians 2:7 when he writes, “We were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children?” So it will be said of many single women in Christ, “She was a great mother and never married.”

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix in a blender the coriander, grated ginger, garlic, red chillies
and coconut cream. Blend until mixed and finely chopped.  Take the cod
and ask your fishmonger to skin and pin it for you and  add this to
your mixture. Next add you chilli paste, as much as you  want to taste
and blend for 30 seconds.  Once blended put into a large bowl and add
the lime juice and rind,  salt, pepper, sugar and finely chopped red
onion. Finally, add the  breadcrumbs gradually while mixing until it
becomes more sticky than  wet. Pop into the fridge for 20 minutes.
Remove the mixture from the fridge and roll a small handful between
the palms of your hand to make a ball then slowly pat it out, you  must
try not to crack the edges. You will need 3 fishcakes per person.  Put
about 1/4 of an inch of sesame oil and half vegetable oil in a  frying
pan and put on half heat. Shallow fry your fishcakes all the  while
moving the pan to prevent them sticking to the bottom. Fry for  15
minutes.  Next make your salad dressing. Simply whisk all the
ingredients  together and leave aside.  For the Oriental Salad Take a
whole Chinese lettuce and shred finely.  With your Bok Choi you should
only cut away the stalks and add whole  to your salad. Take your
fennel, peel it, cut it into quarters,  remove the stalk in the centre
and slice vertically into fine  shavings. Add a handful of washed
beansprouts. Take a handful of  spring onions, cut the green tops off,
tail them as well and finely  slice. Finally mix together and add a few
coriander leaves.  Finally cover the plate with your salad, drizzle 2
tbsp of your  dressing over this and arrange your three fishcakes in
the centre of  the plate. For the finishing touch make a dressing of
half vinegar  and half white wine, drizzle a few tbsp's onto your
fishcakes and  garnish with a sprig of coriander.  Converted by
