Who says noodles and cake don't go together? Well they do, especially if it's fish cake. I got this idea from one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in San Jose. Whenever I'd order one of their combination meals, it comes with a slice of fish cake. It's not the ordinary fish cake one might encounter in other Asian restaurants. This one comes with noodles in the cake.

This recipe combines tilapia, bean thread noodles and eggs, along with other ingredients. You could experiment with other kinds of fish. It's a great treat as an appetizer or main course - breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can also be creative with your dipping sauce which could range from sweet chili sauce to soy sauce to vinegar. This time, I used Sriracha mayo.
