Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound ground pork
½ cup rolled oats
1 small carrot, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons fish sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons lemongrass paste
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 (14 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
2 tablespoons green curry paste
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon fish sauce
salt to taste
1 tablespoon lime juice
¼ cup cilantro, minced

Steps:

  • Place pork in a medium bowl.
  • Place oats in a mini food processor or blender and pulse until coarsely ground, 5 to 10 seconds. Sprinkle on top of pork. Rinse out processor.
  • Combine carrot, water, fish sauce, garlic, lemongrass paste, ginger, salt, and red pepper flakes in the food processor. Blend until no large chunks remain, 10 to 15 seconds. Pour mixture over pork.
  • Add egg to the bowl and mix ingredients until thoroughly combined. Roll meat mixture into 24 balls, roughly 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
  • Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown meatballs lightly on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer partially cooked meatballs to a bowl.
  • Whisk coconut milk, curry paste, brown sugar, and fish sauce together in the same skillet; bring to a simmer. Return meatballs to the skillet and simmer until no longer pink inside, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and stir in lime juice. Remove from heat. Sprinkle meatballs with cilantro right before serving.

Tips:

  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: Fresh, vibrant ingredients will yield the most flavorful meatballs and sauce. Choose tender minced meat, flavorful green curry paste, and a variety of fresh vegetables for the ultimate Thai green curry meatballs experience.
  • Don't Overwork the Meatballs: Overworking the meat mixture can result in tough meatballs. Mix the ingredients gently and form the meatballs loosely to ensure a tender texture.
  • Brown the Meatballs Thoroughly: Browning the meatballs before simmering them in the sauce adds depth of flavor and color. Make sure the meatballs are browned on all sides before adding them to the sauce.
  • Simmer the Curry Gently: Simmering the curry gently allows the flavors to meld and develop. Avoid boiling the curry, as this can result in a harsh taste.
  • Adjust the Spice Level: The amount of green curry paste you use will determine the spice level of the dish. Start with a moderate amount and adjust to your preference. You can also add more coconut milk to balance out the heat.
  • Serve with Authentic Accompaniments: To complete the Thai green curry meatballs experience, serve them with traditional accompaniments such as jasmine rice, fresh vegetables, and a wedge of lime.
