What goes into Thai Green Curry Meatballs

The base of the meatballs is ground chicken, I chose chicken over beef because it’s milder and takes on more of the flavors added to it. The chicken is spiced and flavored with green curry paste (you can make your own or use store bought), soy sauce, fish sauce and salt. The meatballs are bound together with egg and bread crumbs. After they are formed into balls and pan fried, they are smothered in sweet chili sauce.

How to Serve Thai Green Curry Meatballs

The great thing about these meatballs is that they are a low maintenance appetizer. They only take about 20 minutes to make and they don’t have to be eaten hot out of the pan. They taste great warm, but they taste just as good at room temperature. That means you can make them, clean up and have the meatballs ready to go when guests arrive. Serve the meatballs in a bowl or on a platter. Finish them off with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and serve with toothpicks for easy grab-and-eat!
