Instructions
  1. Bring a small pan of salted water to the boil and cook 2 of the eggs for 6 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain off the water, lightly crack the shells and then cool under cold, running water. Set aside while you make the fish mix up.
  2. Place the fish into the bowl of food processor and blend until mixed roughly chopped.
  3. Add the ginger, lemongrass, lime juice and zest, chilli, lime leaves, fish sauce, curry paste, spring onion, cornflour and coriander.
  4. Pulse to mix until a firm paste is formed.

  9. Take half of the fish mix into your hands and flatten it to form a cup shape.
