    1 Put the coriander stalks, roots and most of the leaves in a food processor. Add the sweet chilli sauce, the fish sauce, lime zest, 1 tablespoon lime juice and egg and blend for 10–15 seconds, or until coriander is well chopped. Add cornflour and fish, process for 15-20 seconds, or until well blended. Tip mixture into a bowl and stir through green beans.

    2 Scoop out ¼ cup of mix, flatten slightly and place onto a tray. Repeat. Heat a frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add a drizzle of oil and the fish cakes. Cook for about 3–4 minutes on each side, until lightly browned and cooked through in middle.

    3 Add remaining lime juice to coleslaw mix along with a drizzle of olive oil, reserved coriander leaves and mango. Toss together and serve alongside fish cakes.

    Fish cakes can be stored uncooked and covered in the fridge for 2 days before cooking.
