Ingredients

Chicken Balls:
450g ground chicken or turkey
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1/3 cup minced scallions (green onion)
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon peanut oil

Peanut Sauce:
1/2 cup Natural peanut butter
2 3 teaspoons hot water, or more as needed
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Hot Pepper sauce to taste

Method

Mix the chicken or turkey, ginger, scallions, cilantro, fish sauce, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. Wet hands, and form the meat into small balls.

Heat the peanut oil over in a sauté pan over medium heat and cook the meatballs until browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Serve with Peanut Sauce for dipping.

FOR THE PEANUT SAUCE:

Slowly add hot water to the peanut butter, constantly stirring to incorporate. (The peanut butter may separate at first; don’t worry. Continue stirring, and the peanut butter will eventually smooth out.) When the sauce reaches the desired consistency, mix in the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and pepper sauce.
