- Cut a meatball open to test for doneness by verifying that it is cooked through to the center.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the sambal, the soy sauce, ginger, chicken, water chestnuts, garlic, scallions, cilantro and 2 tablespoons water (this will keep the meatballs really moist!). Use your hands to squish the mixture together until combined.
- Form a little tester patty and then cook and taste to make sure the chicken is really delicious. If the seasoning isn't just right, add a little more soy sauce or a sprinky-dink of salt. When you're confident the meatball mix is perfectly seasoned, form the meatballs.
- Roll the meatballs in the peanuts, and place on a small baking sheet. Roast until meatballs are cooked through, 12 minutes.
- In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise and the remaining 2 tablespoons sambal. Stir to combine and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Serve the meatballs hot with the chili-mayonnaise.

Steps:
- Make the Kaffir Lime Powder, if using:
- In the spice mill, grind the leaves to a fine powder. Store in the jar with the lid securely tightened at room temperature for up to 1 month. (Makes 2 tablespoons powder.)
- Make the soup:
- Cut the chicken into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes. Spread the meat in a single layer on the baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for 1 hour. The chicken should be stiff. (Freezing will help the food processor blade cut the meat cleanly rather than tearing or smearing it.)
- Place the cubes in the food processor and process for about 15 seconds, until the chicken is coarsely ground. Transfer the chicken to a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil and the remaining ingredients (except the stock), and use your hands to blend the mixture
- To prevent the mixture from sticking, wet your hands with cold water, then shape the mixture into 1 1/2-inch (3 cm) balls, about the size of golf balls.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 quart (1 l) water to a boil over high heat.
- Arrange the meatballs side by side in the steamer, cover, and place on top of the saucepan. Steam until cooked through, about 5 minutes (see page 15 for best tips on steaming techniques and equipment). In a skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-high heat and sear the meatballs for a few minutes to create a crunchy, colorful exterior. Serve in the chicken stock or vegetable stock, and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
Tips:
- Choose ground chicken that is fresh and has a mild flavor.
- Use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs for a crispier texture.
- Add some grated ginger and garlic to the meatball mixture for extra flavor.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture, or the meatballs will be tough.
- Use a medium-sized scoop to form the meatballs, so that they are all roughly the same size.
- Brown the meatballs in a pan before baking them, to give them a nice crust.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce or teriyaki sauce.
