Crispy Pan-fried Shrimp and Pork Patties Recipe (video)

This recipe was inspired by some really excellent south Asian food blogs we had been browsing. We assembled this from a couple of different recipes, and it came out really well. You can omit the sugar from this, it's entirely optional. Also, resist the urge to add salt to your protein before you add the fish sauce. The fish sauce is very salty and will definitely season the whole dish. We used regular bread crumbs for the binding in the patties themselves, and panko to bread the outside for that perfect crispy finish.

We used the spicy pineapple plum sauce with these and it was unexpectedly perfect. The flavours really complemented well. You could spice this up if you wanted, add some cayenne or chili flakes to the mixture, etc... We made a half batch from the recipes we had found, but because it's hard to cut an egg in half, our mixture came out a little wet. You can remedy this somewhat by adding a couple tsp of flour to help bind (we used dietary fibre - acacia powder and inulin powder), but make sure you take that step to let it hydrate before you form them.
