Good Job em! I am glad you enjoyed this recipe. :)
I finally made this and included minced shrimps & it was so flavorful with a nice spongy texture. Cleaning up afterwards was messy, but well worth it. Thank you for this lovely recipe!
RunAwayRice I have always love fish ball and cake. When I was 7 yr old I saw my neighbor doing. It was so difficult. But your recipe is so easy to follow.
Wow! Need to try this weekend.
This is good food. Thank you for this recipe.

Thank you Mary for your compliments and encouraging words. It's kind comments like yours that inspire me to keep sharing my recipes. I appreciate your support. Happy Cooking!
The fish cakes I've had at a Vietnamese restaurant is crispy and it look like it has some sort of wrap around it. It's so good!
Some restaurants roll the fish cakes in corn starch to give the outside a crispy texture.
I really have to try some of your recipes. I love fish cake but never thought of making my own.
TabiEats Hi! A lot of folks think this is difficult to make but it's not at all. Using a food processor is a huge time-saver. I hope you give it a try some day. I think this would pair nicely with some of your dishes. Thanks for stopping by.
Ok I definitely will try. I can see that if I succeed, I would be making it more often than buying them.
I don’t have tilapia where I am. Is it possible to make it with any other fish?
Love this! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
***** You're welcome Jn. Thanks for stopping by :)
great video! I love using this for canh chua ca ca, my parents' fav!
tiffanytrangannle Hi! I hope you give the recipe a try...maybe make it for your parents :)
Thank you so much for this recipe.
I was confused about what fish I could use.
Thank god it's Tilapia. An available fish in my home💜
thanks for the recipe, it looks awesome!
Thanks! Appreciate you checking out my video.

Lila Edwards Hi Lila, I hope you give the recipe a try and share your results. :)
Wow, this is delicious!! I love fish balls and fish cakes. I think this is a good recipe!! Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure! Enjoy the recipe. :)
@@RunAwayRice i did try this last night, it didn't turn out like yours but it was ok. The reason, i used a fish from the frozen section called Pangaseous, it had too much water in it. I just added a little bit of flour and it was ok. Thanks for this, my wife loved it!
Hi Rommel, good job making the needed adjustments and I am glad to hear your wife enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to share your comments. :)
I've always wondered how these were made. Great video, thanks!
chimpz007 Thank you! Love your pic :)
Thưa chị, em làm chả cá 2 lần, kì nào cũng bà chả bà chẹt bên trông, mềm và ướt. Ăn chả ngon phải bỏ hết.
Uổng cá, tôm và mấy con mực :(.
Kì này sẽ làm exactly kiểu của chị, let's hope and pray. Nấu ăn ngon sao mà khó nhỉ.
Bàng tay chị đẹp ghê.
Greetings from Holland. Thank you for the vid.
Em
great recipe
+med malika Thanks!
wow ..very simple.
i like fish cake.but i don't know how to make it.
thanks for recipe...
i will try to make it.
Good luck with the recipe. Please stop back to share your results :)
Thanks you 1million time
I didn't have an appreciation for this when I was younger, but now I see you making it and I can see the culinary possibilities. Yum, especially in a broth-based noodle bowl. :) You mentioned keeping the fish cold, but I'm curious how this was traditionally made since the people in SE Asia didn't have refrigeration?
Doodah Gurl I think you know the answer! :) In SE Asia, the folks have the benefit of getting fresh fish and that is the big difference. Once the fish is frozen, it needs to stay chilled or the meat gets mushy in this recipe. It's pretty rare to get freshly caught fish these days. If you ever get a chance, try it in this recipe and you'll definitely notice the difference in the texture. Thanks for stopping by!
Happened to find your channel (Subscribed & Liked) while searching for fish cake recipe
Soothing voice.... 🤗🤗🤗
Love it grilled/baked instead of deep-fried.... 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the like and subscription! I really appreciate it! :)
@@RunAwayRice And you sound so patient.... Imagine the fuss in the kitchen.... 🤗🤗🤗
what nail color do you have here? thank you ☺️ it looks so pretty
thanks for the recipe :)
chandrika sasmita You're very welcome!
I just saw this video and this made me want to make rice cakes today. But I was wondering when you cook them how much can you keep them in the freezer??
I love watching your videos. But could you explain why when we make cha ca, we have to use tapioca starch, but when we make the cha lua, we have to use potato starch. Would it matter if I made cha ca but use the potato starch instead? Thanks for all the help. You’re recipes definitely helped me learn more about my Vietnamese roots!
Ngưỡng mộ chị quá
+nhungng33 Thank you em!🤗
RunAwayRice chị là người Việt Nam hay người Mỹ vậy 😕
người việt nam giỏi quá!chỉ ngắn gọn và hay!
Thank you Tommy. You're very kind :)

Thanks for the recipe! Now I need to put my talapia to good use! 😀

Good
I'm not a fan of fish but I like the way u make it. thanks for sharing this recipe :-)
You're welcome! Thank you for watching my video. 😃
+RunAwayRice ; ) :)
Great
Thank you!
could I use pacific whiting instead?
Cool recipe! Amazing voice! Im going to try this, is coldness so important as to must also refrigerate the food processor bowl and blade ?
Keeping the fish cold is key to getting a firmer texture. Refrigerating the bowl and blade would definitely help!
Can I deep freeze this batter to be used in a month's time Or can partially fry and store them to be used in a month's time?
Can I use Cream dory fillets in replacement for tilapia?
Delicious
Thank you anh Long! :)

When I'm going to Cambodia I have this for lunch it' so delicious
I think u copy from Cambodia
Is there a difference with using baking powder vs baking soda?
Hi Trang, how are you? May I ask that do you have the recipe of Chao tom (Shrimp cake?)?? Thx
Hi Anh, I am doing great! Thanks for asking. I love Chao Tom. Thanks for your request, I will add to the list for future videos.
hi can i use barramundi fish?
also, can i work the fish not cold but only chill it during the last step before frying?
Barramundi has a softer and fattier flesh. I think it's worth a try if you enjoy it. The colder the fish, the more texture the fish cakes will have. Good Luck!
Silly question. Can you substitute the tilapia for another type of white flesh fish? I ask because where I live tilapia is considered an invasive species and you can't get it at all (even if you can catch it, you aren't allowed to eat it).
Hi Trang,
I've noticed that you like to a bit of color here and there to stand out from the background, like the light blue long spoon to remove the garlic and level out the fish cubes along with the light green spatula to transfer the cubes into the food processor. The glass plate also gives the illusion of more space. Can you tell me the brand or send me the link to the long spoon, spatula, and glass plate? Thanks :-}
Hi Wendy, I do like a pop of color here and there. The long blue spoon and thin green spatula are from Marukai, a Japanese market here in Southern California. The glass salad plate is from IKEA. I hope that helps.
Hi Trang, would it be possible that I can use the catfish instead of talapia ? Thank you!
+Anh Hoang-Le Yes, catfish work great in this recipe. Enjoy!
I'm wonder any other fish you recommend other than talapia and catfish since those are bottom-feeder and we are trying to avoid. Tyia!!!!
You can use any fish you like with a medium to firm texture, snapper, halibut, etc. Avoid the delicate-meat fish, like cod, as it yields a fish cake with a mushy texture. Good Luck!
RunAwayRice tysm for your response. so glad to know, I was thinking about cod too! lol!
Oh My..any alternative fish? i must try this
+Abuiluq luq For best results, use a fish with a firmer texture like striped bass, halibut or red snapper. Enjoy the recipe!
Thanks sharing the recipe, just quick question, why it needs baking powder?
+Willson Jo It helps to give the cakes a lighter, airier texture when fried.
em đã làm theo công thức của chị nhưng kèm theo bước quết chả bằng kitchen aid. Chả ngon lắm ạh. Cám ơn chi về công thức.
E mê cái nồi hấp inox của chị quá. Cho em hỏi chị mua ở đâu ạh. Nếu ở Vn thì cho em biết cua hàng nào ko ạh? Cám ơn chị
+Hoang Nguyen Hi em, I am glad to hear were successful with the recipe. I bought my steamer in the US but it's a product of China. If you would like more info, please let me know. :)
Hi chi Trang, I tried the recipe today. The taste was very good but the texture is soft not chewy at all. What could be something I should try differently next time?
Hi! Make sure the fish is really during processing. Letting it get warm can make the texture soft. Good Luck next time!
Thanks for showing ,
Now my wife love me more by my cooking.
Ben Tre LOL! I am happy for you :)
What kinds of fish that I shouldn’t use for this recipe ?
can we try other kinds of fish or shellfish meat like crab or lobster?
SweetHina Hi! Definitely, shrimp and/or lobster would take it to that next level. When adding shrimp or lobster, I use just 1/2 portion of additional seafood to 1 portion of fish. That way you still get the slightly, chewy texture. Enjoy the recipe!
Chi Trang oi em, co tham khao cac cong thuc khac thi thay co them buoc quet cha ca bang KitchenAid. Nha em thi khong co stand mixer nen em khong ro buoc nay co bat buoc khong chi?

Thank you for the recipe. But please, can I use it for tteobkokki?
Sorry, this isn't the recipe for tteobkokki. The texture is different because it has more meat than rice flour.
RunAwayRice I see. Thank you for your reply.
Can I substitute corn starch for tapioca starch? (and) Can I also omit the baking powder?!?!
You can substitute corn starch for tapioca starch and you can omit the baking powder. Good Luck!
Can we substitude baking powder for something else?
Luckyna Sourn Hi Luckyna, are you allergic to baking powder or just don't have it at home? If the latter, you can make your own baking powder by combining equal amounts of cream of tartar and baking soda. Hope that helps!
For the fish, would it be ok to use thawed frozen tilapia ?
Yes, this would work. Enjoy!
Ở đây cũng dùng cá basa để làm chả, và dùng máy xay thực phẩm, cái mà cô muốn con mua để dùng đó. Xem xong có thể cho cô biết ý kiến của con nhé. Cô thấy máy này tiện dụng cho con về nhiều việc lắm. Có thể làm chả lụa tại nhà, không dùng hàn the như ngoài chợ người ta làm. Chất này rất độc đó con.
+thu Nguyen Hi em, Cá Basa làn chả cá cũng được. Máy này có thể dùng để xay thịt làm chả lụa. Nhưng phải để thịt thật lạnh và xay từng ít một thôi. Thịt heo cứng hơn cá, khi máy nóng phải nghỉ chờ máy nguội mới xay tiếp, máy nóng sẽ dễ bị cháy và sẽ làm chả không đươc dai.
Chúc em thành công.
Chị ơi, xay xong nếu chưa nhuyễn mình lấy chày giã được ko, làm thế nào để cá hết xương z chị em tự lấy phi lê áh ^^
+Tô Hoàng Khắc Hiếu Hi em, you can use a chày to grind the fish. For homemade fillets, I use tweezers to remove the bones. It's a lot of work :)
I don't have food processor can i use a blender?
If your blender has enough power it should work. Process the meat in smaller amounts. Good Luck!
I love your recipe but in my area I don't have tapioca starch can I use any other starch?
Potato starch or corn starch are good substitutes. Good Luck!
RunAwayRice thank you so much
Is there other fish that u can recommend other than tilapia? Thanks
Hi Noel, any firm-flesh fish works great in this recipe. I've made the fish cakes with haddock, halibut, mahi mahi and mackerel--all good options. Enjoy the recipe!
Any white fish will do.
Can I put prawns in this recipe? Thank you
+Renato Bie Yes you can! It'll be delish!
hi..can i use frozen tilapia instead? :)
+Timothy Duncan Yes, frozen tilapia works and you work with it partially thawed so the fish is cold. Good Luck!
How many grams of tilapia mom?
Dear Cô Trang,
Tôi làm 2 lần chã cá đều không dai, tôi dùng máy Cuisinart 12 cup.
Tôi mua cá ở Costco về frozen, rồi khi nào làm tôi mới xã đá,
Không biết cá không dai là tại cá hay tại máy?
Cám ơn cô Trang
Qui
+Hoa Dang Hi Qui, what kind of fish did you use?
Dear Cô Trang,
Tôi dùng cá Tilapia, mua ở Costco, vì mua nhiều nên phải bỏ vô Freezer
khi nào làm mới lấy ra để tan đá, rồi làm như cô chỉ, nhưng sao cũng không dai.
Lần sau tôi thử mua cá tươi về làm liền coi sao, hay cô có cách khác
làm ơn chỉ dùm
Cám ơn cô+RunAwayRice
I used Tilapia fish.
+Hoa Dang Hi Hoa, I use tilapia too. Sometimes if you overwork the food processor, the blade gets hot and that warms up the fish making the cakes mushy. Try making a smaller batch and not processing so much in your food processor and see if you get a springy texture. Good Luck!
What can be used instead of tapioca starch n shallot ?
Use red onion instead of shallots. Substitute tapioca starch with potato starch or corn starch. It's not an exact match but will be close.
@@RunAwayRice thank you very much for your humbleness in replying.. stay blessed
How to make fish cake sheets? That same way?
Yes, you can use this recipe to make fish cake sheets.
Can these be frozen for later?
Yes, you can freeze the Fish Cakes and enjoy later.
Hi, I wonder if I can ude dory fillet for this recipe? Thanks.
Dory fish has a firmer flesh so would be good in this recipe. Enjoy!
+Tina Nguyen Làm lại đi em. Chúc em thành công. Nhớ cho chị biết kết quả nhé.
Apakah fish cake bisa dikasih potongan jahe misalnya jd seperti makanan Jepang
Can i use frozen fish?
Frozen fish is just fine. Enjoy the recipe!
Em lam theo cong thuc chi day ca rat dai cam pn chi
Hi Thuy, I am glad to hear you were successful. Thank you for trying my recipe em :)
Hehe...chị ơi...sữa lại recipe kìa...1/2 tsp baking powder cứu hổng phải 12tsp baking powder phải ko chị ? btw, chị chiên cá xong, để một lúc cá có bị xẹp xuống ko vậy chị? Thanks chị.
ngosuong17 Cám ơn em, chị đã sửa lại công thức rồi. Chả cá chiên xong có hơi xẹp một chút. Em xem trong video lúc chị cắt chả cá. Đây là chả cá đã nguội. Em nhớ đừng có cho bột nổi nhiều hơn đã ghi trong công thức, thì khi chiên chả không có phồng lên nhiều và lúc nguội cũng không xẹp xuống nhiều và nhăn. Chúc em thành công.
Tilapia là cá gì vậy?
+thu Nguyen Hi em, tilapia là cá rô phi
can i change that fish with another fish??
Definitely, use any fish you like. A fish with firm flesh works best in this recipe. Good Luck!
Thank you 😊😊

Yes, I am :)
i know there is pink fish cake..what is that?
+lolita ll I believe that is a Japanese fishcake called Kamaboko.
+RunAwayRice thank you
This is real stuff! and I thought fish cake and fish balls are just made of all starch and flour no real fish meat. But u show me that is not true
I thought the exact same thing!
