Ingredients
1 lb ground chicken
2 tablespoons red curry paste
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, red curry paste, minced garlic, grated ginger, fish sauce, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
3. Shape the mixture into small meatballs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown.
5. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
6. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.
Notes
These meatballs pair well with jasmine rice, vermicelli noodles, or a light cucumber salad.
You can freeze uncooked or cooked meatballs for quick future meals — just thaw and reheat.
Add a splash of lime juice or a drizzle of peanut sauce for extra flavor.
To make them gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or cooked quinoa.
