Add the lightly beaten egg and rice flour to the fish mixture. Mix until everything is well combined and the mixture holds together. If it seems too wet, add a little more rice flour.

Shape the mixture into small, flattened patties or balls, about 1.5-2 inches in diameter.
- 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.

Carefully place the fish cakes into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.

Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fish cakes from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
