Thai Chicken Balls Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer to 350°. In a small bowl, combine chili sauce, lime juice, ketchup and soy sauce; reserve 1/2 cup for serving. In a large bowl, combine egg, bread crumbs, green onion, cilantro, salt, garlic powder and remaining 4 tablespoons chili sauce mixture. Add chicken; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 12 balls., In batches, arrange meatballs in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Turn and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes longer. Serve with reserved sauce; sprinkle with additional cilantro.

Steps:

• Using the small holes of a box grater, or a Microplane, grate the ginger, garlic and jalapeño (or finely chop them by hand). Transfer half to a large bowl and set the rest aside. To the large bowl, add the chicken, finely chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons fish sauce and 1 teaspoon salt. Use your hands or a fork to fully combine but do not overmix.
• Use your hands or an ice cream scoop to form 2-inch meatballs (about 2 ounces each). In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the meatballs in a single layer and cook, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on two sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat, adding oil as needed.
• Once all the meatballs are browned and out of the pot, if the oil is burned, wipe it out and add a bit more to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium, add the reserved ginger mixture and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, coconut milk, sugar and the remaining 1 tablespoon fish sauce, and bring to a simmer. Add the meatballs and any juices from the plate, and simmer until the flavors come together and the meatballs are cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and stir in the spinach and lime juice. Divide rice among bowls, then top with meatballs, broth and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together, except oil (and cucumber and chile sauces).
• Wet hands, and take one tbsp of mixture and form into meatball; repeat.
• Shallow-fry the meatball until they are brown and cooked through.
• Serve with Thai cucumber sauce (may use recipe#29196) and Thai red chile sauce (may use recipe#30195), or other dipping sauces of choice, if desired.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
• Roll into balls.
• Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes- basically until they are cooked though and look cooked!
• I line the tray with baking paper.
• Serve with extra sweet chilli sauce for dipping.
• **I often add more breadcrumbs/coriander and chilli sauce-- just judge how wet/dry the mixture is.
