Time 28m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion
1 tablespoon asian fish sauce
2 teaspoons asian garlic sauce (Sriracha)
1 lb ground chuck (80% lean)
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
1 tablespoon cilantro or 1 tablespoon sweet basil
1 tablespoon finely chopped Thai red chili peppers or 1 tablespoon jalapeno
1 teaspoon asian fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 bunch Thai basil
12 wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl until the sugar has dissolved; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, gently combine the ground chuck with the rest of the filling ingredients.
  • Shape a tablespoon of the filling into a small log. Wrap 1 basil leaf around the beef and thread onto a skewer. Repeat until all of the filling is gone.
  • Clean and oil the cooking grate. Grill the rolls until the filling is fully cooked and slightly firm, about 6 to 8 minutes, turning once during cooking. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce. An alternate method would be to bake or pan fry.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of meats. The meatballs in this recipe are made with a combination of pork and chicken, but you can use any type of ground meat that you like. Beef, lamb, turkey, or even tofu would all be good options.
  • Don't overmix the meat. Overmixing the meat will make the meatballs tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Chill the meatballs before cooking. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Cook the meatballs over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Make sure the meatballs are cooked all the way through. Cut one in half to check. The center should be cooked through but still moist.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite dipping sauce. Sweet chili sauce is a classic choice, but you can also use barbecue sauce, hoisin sauce, or any other sauce that you like.

Conclusion:

These Thai meatballs with sweet chili sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time and reheated.
