We've always known these as Poor Man's Whitebait although there's actually no whitebait in them!
They are super easy and cheap to make. You get a lot of patties and everyone seems to find them very tasty, hot or cold. Since they’re also nice cold they’re good to take on picnics or to go into lunch boxes or out to a pot luck lunch or anything along those lines.
You don’t need to be too particular about the quantities, just do what seems best to you. It’s a very forgiving mixture.
Recipe
Cook and drain about two cups of instant (two minute type) noodles as per the instructions. I use a colander but you could just drain them from the saucepan if you preferred.
Put them back in the same saucepan (saves on the washing up).
Add 3 or 4 eggs.
Flake and add one small can of salmon (about a cupful). Use two cans if you feel like it. If you don't have salmon on hand ham or tuna are good substitutes as well.
At this point you can add other things you might be in the mood for like a diced onion, red pepper or some fresh or dried herbs.
Mix it all together with a fork.
Heat a little oil in a wok or frying pan. Put large spoonfuls in the wok or pan to form fritters and shallow fry on each side for approximately 3 to 4 minutes. I tend to leave them a bit longer because I like the noodles a little crispy.
Eat them just like that or dip them in whatever sauce takes your fancy. Sweet chilli sauce is one good option.
These go nicely with a green salad.
