Ingredients:
For the Meatballs:
1 lb ground chicken
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated carrot
2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon lime zest
1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
For the Peanut Sauce:
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for heat)
1/3 to 1/2 cup warm water (to thin to desired consistency)
Juice of 1 lime
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine all meatball ingredients. Mix gently until just combined.
Roll the mixture into 1 to 1½ inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the meatballs are golden and cooked through.
Meanwhile, whisk together all the peanut sauce ingredients in a bowl. Start with 1/3 cup warm water and add more to reach your desired consistency.
Once meatballs are cooked, serve them drizzled with peanut sauce or use as a dip on the side.
Garnish with chopped peanuts, cilantro, and lime wedges if desired. Serve with jasmine rice, noodles, or lettuce cups.
