Instructions

1

This savory adaptation of Khanom Krok uses a light salmon and rice base to achieve the desired macro profile while honoring the traditional Thai street-snack philosophy of texture and aroma.

2

In a mixing bowl, combine the finely minced raw salmon, cooked rice, chopped spinach, and palm sugar. Mix until the starches in the rice begin to bind the salmon and greens into a cohesive, thick batter.

3

Heat a non-stick griddle or a traditional cast-iron Khanom Krok pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the molds.

4

Spoon small, equal portions of the mixture into the molds. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side. You are looking for a golden-brown, slightly crispy exterior that crackles when tapped, while the center remains tender and aromatic.

5

Carefully remove from the heat. The salmon will have firmed up, and the rice will provide a beautiful, slightly chewy bite characteristic of these traditional snacks.

6

Plate the mini cakes and garnish immediately with the finely sliced fresh scallion and the crushed almonds for a nutty, aromatic finish. Serve warm.
