Steps to make
Meatballs can be so versatile. Make them into appetizers like these Sweet and sour meatballs, or a full meal out of them like Meatball casserole or garlic butter Meatballs. Meatballs always come in handy to put together a meal in less than 30 minutes. They freeze well, so you will always have some in the freezer. Thai chicken meatballs are mildly flavored, as they will be further cooked in coconut red curry sauce.
For Thai chicken meatballs
Ground chicken – If you are getting ground chicken from the local butcher, you can get a mix of light and dark meat ( chicken breast and chicken thigh) for super moist meatballs. You can also use ground pork Panko breadcrumb – regular breadcrumbs can be substituted. Egg Ginger and garlic– Grated or made into a paste, as bitting into pieces of ginger and garlic isn’t a pleasant experience. Shallots – minced Soy sauce Sambal or any other Asian chili paste. You can also use sriracha. Cilantro – Use the stems as they are a powerhouse of flavor.
Coconut Curry Sauce
For a fabulous coconut curry sauce, don’t just settle with only bottled red curry paste. Add a bunch of fresh aromatics to take it to the next level. The red curry sauce has a perfect balance of spice and sweetness.
Ginger, Garlic – use paste, so that you can’t really taste it in the sauce. Shallots – Minced Red curry Paste – Any decent brand would do, as we will be adding fresh aromatics to boost the flavor. Fish Sauce, Soy Sauce- Fish sauce is another ingredient in Thai curry recipes, that I would never skip. It rounds off all the flavors. Curry Powder Thai red chili – If you can handle spicy then add else skip. Fresh lemon and Cilantro
