One of our favourite flavour boosters is sriracha: it works as an ingredient for marinades or on its own as a dipping sauce. For less of a punch, mix with reduced-fat mayo so the flavours come through without setting your mouth on fire!


Ingredients
Cabbage
4 leaf/leaves, large
Chilli, green or red
½ individual, red, deseeded and finely chopped
Coriander, fresh
1 tablespoon(s)
Prawns, Raw
150 g
Cod, raw
130 g, cut into chunks
Garlic
1 clove(s), finely chopped
Spring Onions
4 medium, trimmed and chopped
Lime
1 zest(s) of 1, plus wedges to serve
Lime Juice, Fresh
10 ml
Chives, Fresh
1 tablespoon(s), snipped
Olive Oil
1 teaspoon(s)
Sriracha sauce
15 ml
Reduced Fat Mayonnaise
4 tablespoon(s)
Instructions
1
Steam the cabbage leaves in a steamer set over a pan of simmering water for 3-4 minutes until just tender, then cool under cold running water. Pat the leaves dry with a clean tea towel or kitchen paper, then trim off the tough part of the stalk. Set aside.
2
Reserve some of the chilli and a few coriander sprigs, then put the remainder in a food processor with the prawns, cod, garlic, spring onions and lime zest and juice. Pulse until the mixture comes together as a thick paste. Add the chives and pulse briefly to combine. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
3
Heat the oil in a large, nonstick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Working in batches, dollop tablespoonfuls of the fishcake mixture into the pan, spaced well apart, and gently flatten with the back of a spoon. Fry for 2 minutes on each side until golden. Repeat until you have used up all of the mixture – you should have about 16 fishcakes in total.
4
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the sriracha into the mayonnaise – making it as mild or as spicy as you like.
5
Put each cabbage leaf stalk-side up on a serving platter or plates, then put 4 fishcakes on each one. Scatter with the reserved chilli and coriander sprigs. Tuck the bottom and top in, then roll into a neat wrap and serve alongside the dipping sauce with the lime wedges to squeeze over.
