Method

Blitz together all the fish, red chili paste, fish sauce, oyster sauce and coriander so it forms a thick paste.
Shape in thick discs that are no larger than 5cm wide and cover in bread crumbs.
Heat a few cm of oil into a wok until it begins to simmer. Blanch fishcakes for 2-3 minutes till golden brown and drain on kitchen paper.
For the sauce, place the vinegar, sugar, 2 tbsp water and the whole chillies in a small saucepan, then bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 minutes and remove from the heat. Place in a food processor and blend until smooth. Strain, saving 1 tsp chilli, then stir in the saved chilli and leave to cool.
Serve the fishcakes with the sauce for dipping.
