Recipe video above. The beautiful, fresh Thai flavour in these meatballs are amazing! Truly like something you'd get at those posh Thai restaurants. These aren't authentic Thai, as far as I know there really aren't meatballs in Thai cuisine (at least, not like this, they have them in

Bahan-bahan

4 porsi

500 g / 1 lb pork mince ((ground pork, or chicken))
1 tbsp lemongrass paste (or finely chopped fresh) (Note 1)
1 tsp grated ginger
3 cloves garlic (, minced)
3 kaffir lime leaves, stem removed and very finely shredded, optional extra (Note 2)
3 Thai or birds eye chillies (, seeds removed and finely chopped (Note 3))
1/4 cup coriander/cilantro (, leaves and stem finely chopped (Note 4))
1 tsp sugar (any)
1 tbsp fish sauce (can sub with soy sauce if required)
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs ((+ extra 1/4 cup if needed))
1 small egg
Oil spray
1/2 cup / 125 ml sweet chilli sauce (, store bought (Note 5))

Langkah-langkah

Preheat oven to 220C/430F (standard) or 200C/390F (fan / convection).
Place a rack on a tray (optional, rack keeps balls slightly rounder).
Place Meatball ingredients in a bowl (except oil spray), mix well with your hands. Only use extra breadcrumbs if necessary - sometimes, chicken mince can be quite wet. Scoop up 1 slightly heaped tablespoon and roll into a ball (about 3cm / 1.25" diameter). (Note 6 for my way)
Spray rack well with oil and place the meatballs on the rack.
Spray meatballs generously with oil, then bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until a bit browned. They should be beautifully soft - see video!
Serve warm with Sauce, garnished with coriander and chillies if desired.
Place ingredients in a bowl and mix. Set aside for at least 10 minutes before using.
