Ginger Chicken Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1 clove Garlic
• 1/2 pcs 2 cm ginger root, washed, peeled
• 1/2 bunch Coriander (cilantro) leaves, fresh
• 1 1/2 tsp Fish sauce
• 1/2 tbsp Corn starch
• 230 g Ground chicken
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1/2 pcs Red chili pepper, seeded and chopped

Method

1. Blitz garlic, chili pepper, a bunch of fresh cilantro, and a piece of ginger in a small chopper or food processor until minced.
2. Add mixture to a large bowl. Mix with ground chicken, fish sauce, cornstarch, and salt. Form into 12 meatballs – they will be wet but that’s okay. The shape doesn’t need to be perfect!
3. In a large skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and let them begin to cook.
4. Add 2 tablespoons water; it will sizzle, so wear an apron and have your lid ready! Put the lid on the pan and let the meatballs cook for a few minutes. Uncover, flip, and repeat. Within about 10 minutes, the meatballs should be cooked through, tender, and nicely golden brown
