Fragrant Thai Meatballs

Recently hubby asked me to make him some snack food for work. He is a tradie, so walking around a workshop he sometimes has time to eat small bites of food. This was one of the things I cooked for him, and I served it with a homemade satay sauce. They're easy to make, and very yummy with a lovely coriander and curry paste flavour.

Ingredients
  • 500g minced beef
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 stalk lemon grass finely chopped (or 1 tsp lemon grass powder)
  • 4 shallots, finely chopped
  • 2 tbs chopped coriander
  • 2 tbs green curry paste
  • 1 tbs lemon juice
  • 1 tbs fish sauce
  • 1 egg
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • rice flour
  • vegetable oil

Method
Combine all ingredients except flour and oil. Mix well, roll into walnut sized balls. Roll in rice flour to coat. Then fry in batches until browned.

Serve with satay, sweet chilli sauce or kecap manis (thick sweet soy from Asian grocer - get it, it's amazing!).
