Ingredients

  • FOR MEATBALLS
  • 1 pound ground chicken (I prefer dark meat)
  • 1/2 cup panko
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup basil, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1.5 tablespoons sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons nam pla (Asian fish sauce)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • FOR SAUCE
  • 14.5 ounces coconut milk (1 can)
  • 2 tablespoons green curry paste
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon nam pla
  • 1 juice of one lime
  • 1 zest of one lime

Method

  • Combine all ingredients for meatball in bowl. Form into 12 meatballs and place on parchment paper.
  • Brown the meatballs in nonstick pan in two batches, each with 1T oil.
  • In a large saucepan (I use wide a 3.5 quart), combine ingredients for the sauce except for the lime zest.
  • Mix well and cook over low until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add meatballs and increase heat to medium-low. Simmer meatballs in sauce until cooked all the way through, turning them occasionally (cook for about 15 minutes).
  • Serve with lime zest on top.
