How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh basa fish cakes
- To buy good basa fish cakes, prioritize selecting pieces of fish that have a bright, pink or light pink color.
- Absolutely do not buy low-quality fish cakes, which often have a dull color or greenish tint, and have a strange, fishy smell.
- You should buy fish cakes from trusted places or vendors to ensure product quality.
- Additionally, you can also make basa fish cakes at home following the recipe shared by TasteVN below.
How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- Fresh and delicious tomatoes you should buy are those that are plump with bright red color, even in color and exuding a mild characteristic fragrance.
- Freshly picked tomatoes will have the stem tightly attached to the top of the fruit. It is preferable to choose tomatoes of medium size, not too large or too small, because overly large fruits tend to have thick flesh, making dishes less tasty when cooked.
- Avoid choosing tomatoes that are bruised, unevenly ripened, have fallen stems, or show signs of pests or have wrinkled skin, and feel soft and mushy when touched.

Prepare the ingredients
To save time, you should buy pre-made fish cakes that are packaged at stores or supermarkets. You can add a little seasoning and then use a spoon to press in one direction so that the fish cake absorbs the flavor and becomes as chewy as you desire!
Wash the tomatoes, remove the stems, and dice them. Peel the shallots and garlic, rinse them, and chop finely. Wash the green onions and chop them small.

Make the tomato sauce
Continue using this pan, add the minced shallots and garlic, and sauté until fragrant. Then add the tomatoes and stir on the stove over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and stir well for another 2 minutes.
Add about 1/2 cup of filtered water (rice bowl) and cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes. When the tomatoes are soft and the mixture has thickened, add about 1 tablespoon of chili sauce and stir well. Adjust the seasoning according to your family’s taste.
