THAI CHICKEN MEATBALLS WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Meatball Preparation: Add all the ingredients for the meatballs (except panko breadcrumbs) to a mixing bowl. Use a spoon to mix everything together until combined.
• Put the panko breadcrumbs onto a large dinner plate and use a dessert spoon to scoop out 1 spoonful of meat mixture and drop into the crumbs. (Make sure to do one at a time as the mixture will be quite moist, however the breadcrumbs will make it more manageable).
• Roll the spoonful of meat in the breadcrumbs until a ball (approx. golf ball size) is formed. Set meatballs aside on a clean plate and repeat until all the meat is rolled into balls. (you should end up with about 16 or so)
• Cover and refrigerate the meatballs whilst the other parts of the recipe are prepared.
• Slaw: Add all of the slaw ingredients to a medium sized bowl (without the dressing), cover and refrigerate until just before serving.
• Dressing: Add all the dressing ingredients into a small mixing bowl or jar and whisk to combine. Cover and refrigerate until just before serving.
• Cooking the Meatballs: Heat a large pan/skillet on medium to high heat with the oil. Gently add all the meatballs, and cook, gently turning with a spatula or tongs - about 10 minutes or so. While they are cooking, make the peanut sauce.
• Peanut Sauce: Heat a small saucepan on medium and melt the peanut butter. Add the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey, lime juice and siracha, stir with a spoon to combine and heat through until sauce is thickened. Gradually add the milk 1 tablespoon at a time and stir through to thin out to your liking. Remove from heat once desired consistency is achieved.
• To serve: Give the dressing a shake or another whisk and add to the bowl of slaw and toss through with a couple of forks. Arrange the slaw on two plates, place the meatballs, and drizzle over the spicy peanut sauce. Optional garnishes could include sesame seeds, chopped peanuts and spring onion.

THAI CURRY CHICKEN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Make the meatballs: In bowl, mix ground chicken, garlic, ginger, green onion, salt and pepper until evenly combined. Form into balls about 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Oil your hands as you roll to keep chicken from sticking to your hands.
• In a large oven-proof skillet, add oil on medium high heat. Place meatballs in skillet and brown each side, turning often about 2-3 minutes per side until a crust forms. Remove meatballs from pan and set aside.
• Make the curry sauce: In the same skillet over medium heat add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the bay leaf (or lime leaf), curry powder, cayenne pepper. Add the coconut milk, chicken broth, fish sauce, and lime zest. Then stir until combined. Bring liquid to a low simmer.
• Place meatballs back into the skillet and simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked (timing will depend on meatball size and how much you seared the meatballs).
• If desired, squeeze in some lime juice and top with minced cilantro. Serve over rice, with slices of crusty bread, with flatbreads, or however you prefer to enjoy your curry.
