BEEF SATAY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Mix meatball ingredients well and shape into 12 small balls. Arrange on a baking rack and refrigerate while you preheat the oven to 400ºF/204ºC. If you prefer, you can fry them in a skillet instead (teaspoon of oil over medium-high heat, turning three times, until cooked through).
• While the oven heats, mix together the sauce ingredients. Puree in the blender or shake in a jar until smooth. Taste and add more salt and lime juice if needed. Set aside at room temperature (also can be made up to 3 days in advance and refrigerated).
• Prep the salad: Start a pot of water boiling. (Blanch the green beans for 60 seconds; remove with a slotted spoon and drop into ice water) Add the noodles and cook according to package. Drain and drop into a bowl of ice water. Toss with fingers to separate and rinse and drain completely.
• Divide vegetables into 4 serving bowls: lettuce, carrot, cucumber, green beans, herbs. Top each bowl with an equal amount of noodles. Refrigerate.
• Bake the meatballs for about 10 minutes until browned and firm.
• Serve hot meatballs on cold salad with peanut sauce and any other garnishes you like

CHICKEN SATAY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet or wok to medium high heat. While the skillet is getting hot, prepare your meatballs. In a large bowl mix together the meatball ingredients: ground turkey or chicken, flour, egg, coconut aminos, garlic, ginger, and sea salt. Mix with your hands to ensure it's well incorporated. Form into 1.5 inch balls.
• Once skillet is hot, coat the skillet with oil. Add the meatballs (You may have to work in batches but I was able to fit all of my meatballs using a 12 inch skillet). Sear on all sides, totaling about 8 minutes of cooking (might not be cooked all the way through, and this is fine).
• Meanwhile, make your satay sauce. In a high powered blender, blend together coconut milk, nut butter, coconut aminos, vinegar, sesame oil, cilantro, ginger, garlic, and crushed red pepper (if using). Blend until completely smooth.
• Toss in add-in vegetables to the skillet: bell pepper, carrots and green onion. Continue to stir for a few minutes with meatballs. Reduce heat to low. Now pour in the satay sauce, coating the meatballs and veggies. Let cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly so the sauce doesn't stick to bottom of the pan.
• Serve hot over rice or cauliflower rice, or plain. Garnish with cilantro and chopped nuts (if using).

THAI MEATBALLS WITH PEANUT SATAY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the peanut dipping sauce by putting the peanut butter in a large bowl and vigorously stirring it with the coconut milk. The large bowl ensures there won't be any spattering. At first, it will look lumpy and watery. Eventually, the 2 ingredients combine into a smooth sauce. Add a few squeezes of lime juice from one lime. Stir in a good pinch or two of salt if you're using a no salt peanut butter. Set aside.
• Preheat the broiler on high. Line a large baking pan with tinfoil. Spray the tin foil with cooking spray or coat with a drizzle of neutral tasting oil.
• In another large bowl, add all the meatball ingredients up to the neutral tasting oil for cooking/serving suggestions. Combine the ingredients without overmixing. Wet or oil your hands and form the meatballs into round balls the size of large marbles or walnuts. Place on the prepared baking tray and broil them for about 8-10 minutes. The inside should be cooked through but still very juicy. Serve with the peanut satay sauce, fresh lime wedges and other suggestions. Enjoy!
