Thai Meatballs

Step 1

Preheat oven to 220C/430F (standard) or 200C/390F (fan / convection).

Step 2

Place a rack on a tray (optional, rack keeps balls slightly rounder).

Step 3

Place Meatball ingredients in a bowl (except oil spray), mix well with your hands. Only use extra breadcrumbs if necessary - sometimes, chicken mince can be quite wet. Scoop up 1 slightly heaped tablespoon and roll into a ball (about 3cm / 1.25" diameter). (Note 6 for my way)

Step 4

Spray rack well with oil and place the meatballs on the rack.

Step 5

Spray meatballs generously with oil, then bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until a bit browned. They should be beautifully soft - see video!

Step 6

Serve warm with Sauce, garnished with coriander and chillies if desired.

Step 7

Place ingredients in a bowl and mix. Set aside for at least 10 minutes before using.
