Thai Meatballs over Spicy Stir Fry & Rice image

This is very versatile dish! I never make it the same way twice. The meatballs can be made spicy and not the vegetables. Or made with turkey or pork rather than chicken if you wish. In the stir fry, use any combination of vegetables that you crave. Give the garnish your own special touch! I encourage you to be creative...

MEATBALL INGREDIENTS
2 lb ground chicken
1/2 c water chestnuts minced
3 scallions, minced
1 Tbsp ground ginger
1/4 c strained, crushed pineapple
4 Tbsp soy sauce, low sodium
2 tsp (dark) roasted sesame oil
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
VEGETABLE INGREDIENTS:
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp hot chile oil
1 Tbsp garlic, coarsely chopped
1 c broccoli florets, sliced
1/4 c shallots
3 Tbsp water
1/2 c carrots, julienned
1 bell pepper (any color), julienned
1/2 sweet onion, julienned
1/2 c sugar snap peas
SAUCE FOR VEGETABLES, (COMBINE)
4 Tbsp soy sauce, low sodium
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp ground ginger
1 Tbsp lime juice
1 Tbsp red chile paste

Steps:

  • 1. MEATBALLS: 1. In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, water chestnuts, ginger, pineapple, scallions, soy sauce, and sesame oil. 2. Use your hands to stir the ground meat mixture until its well-mixed. Now shape the meat mixture into tiny meatballs (1 to 1 1/2 in. diameter). 3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook, stirring often, until browned on all sides, about 1 min. Cover and cook until meatballs are no longer raw in the center, about 2 minutes longer. 4. Serve the meatballs over vegetables and rice.
  • 2. VEGETABLE DIRECTIONS: 1. Heat vegetable oil and chile oil together in a wok or skillet over medium heat, add garlic and stir until golden brown. 2. Add broccoli, shallots and water. Saute until tender, about 2 minutes. 3. Stir in all other ingredients except serrano pepper. 4. Add soy sauce mixture and toss until all vegetables are brightly colored (just cooked but still crispy). 5. Quickly stir in serrano pepper and remove from heat.
  • 3. GARNISH IDEAS: Garnish with scallions, sesame seeds, sweet basil, pineapple, spicy peppers, or any combination of these if desired.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but these meatballs were just the right amount of heat. The stir-fry rice was also delicious and a great way to balance out the flavors.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste, but the stir-fry rice was delicious. I would recommend using a little more oil when cooking the meatballs.

These meatballs were delicious, but they took a bit longer to cook than the recipe said. I would recommend cooking them for an extra 5-10 minutes.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I substituted parsley in this recipe. The meatballs were still very flavorful and delicious. The stir-fry rice was also great.
