I triple dog dare you to make these Thai chicken meatballs with ginger, right now. Right now. Do you have all of the ingredients? Because you know if I triple dog dare you, you have to do it right? It's a thing. One thing is for sure though, I won't have to TDD you to eat these little gems straight out of the pan....and then straight out of the refrigerator tomorrow. That's also a thing. You will wake up thinking about them in the middle of the night, they will run your life when your done. I'm not saying that's a bad thing.
Just make two batches. One for you to compulsively eat, and one for everyone else so it looks like you didn't do that. I'm just trying to give you a heads up right now, so you aren't embarrassed when there's no dinner.
How To Make Thai Chicken Meatballs With Ginger
These are really easy to make, and it all comes together in about 20 minutes. It all starts with ground chicken.
Step#1: Combine chicken, sriracha, ginger, lime zest, garlic, egg, bread crumbs, cilantro, and salt. All the yummiest ingredients ever.
Step #2: Use this magic meatball spoon to make the most perfectly sized meatballs. Simply press the spoon down and scoop the bottom of the mixture off the spoon. I like little meatballs for this recipe so I pushed the meatball spoon down about an inch. No meat on my hands.
Can I make these meatballs without a meatball spoon?
Yes, just pull off an inch of the chicken mixture and roll it around in your hand until it becomes a meatball.
Step #3: Add 1 Tbsp of grapeseed oil to a skillet, place the meatballs into the skillet, avoiding overcrowding. I used a 9" cast iron skillet and made them in two batches. It took about 10 minutes to cook the meatballs through with this method.
What if I want to make large meatballs?
If you want to make large meatballs, I suggest browning them according to the method above, on all sides; and then popping them in the oven for 20 minutes or so. A cast iron skillet comes in handy for this method because it easily goes from stovetop to oven.
