THAI CHICKEN BALLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the chicken and bread crumbs. Season with green onion, ground coriander, cilantro, chili sauce and lemon juice; mix well.
• Using damp hands, form mixture into evenly shaped balls that are either small enough to eat with your fingers, or large enough to use as burgers.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken balls in batches until well browned all over.

DELICIOUS THAI STYLE MEATBALLS

Steps:

• For the dipping sauce, whisk all the ingredients together and set aside. Start to prepare the meatballs.
• Gently heat the sugar and fish sauce in a non-stick saucepan until the sugar has melted and mixture starts to thicken. Cool, then stir into the pork mince with the remaining ingredients mixing thoroughtly.
• With damp hands, roll into 15-20 small balls, place on a plate and chill until ready to cook.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the meatballs for 15-20 minutes, until brown and cooked through.
• As an appetizer, serve the meatballs hot accompanied by the dipping sauce. For a main meal, serve with rice/noodles and a vegetable stir fry.
• You can also freeze the meatballs raw and cook when needed. This works well.
• Happy chopping!

THAI MEATBALLS WITH SWEET CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl until the sugar has dissolved; set aside.
• In a large bowl, gently combine the ground chuck with the rest of the filling ingredients.
• Shape a tablespoon of the filling into a small log. Wrap 1 basil leaf around the beef and thread onto a skewer. Repeat until all of the filling is gone.
• Clean and oil the cooking grate. Grill the rolls until the filling is fully cooked and slightly firm, about 6 to 8 minutes, turning once during cooking. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce. An alternate method would be to bake or pan fry.

TURKEY (OR CHICKEN) MEATBALLS WITH SWEET CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients together.
• In a pan lightly oiled (I use Pam), fry over medium heat until completely brown, about 5-10 minutes.
• Bake in a preheated 350* oven until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• You can also cook them completely in the fry pan.
• This recipe makes about 30 average size meatballs.
• Adjust amount of Sweet Chili sauce and bread crumbs if it appears too dry or wet, but these amounts work perfectly for us.
• You can combine all ingredients and refridge overnight then cook as normal, for a spicier flavor.
• For OAMC - Flash freeze on a cookie sheet until frozen. Place in a ziploc bag once frozen. Heat in Micro for 45-60 seconds, depending on the size of meatball. I'm sure it can be reheated in the oven, but I haven't tried it yet.
