THAI MEATBALLS OVER SPICY STIR FRY & RICE

Steps:

• 1. MEATBALLS: 1. In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, water chestnuts, ginger, pineapple, scallions, soy sauce, and sesame oil. 2.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook, stirring often, until browned on all sides, about 1 min. Cover and cook until meatballs are no longer raw in the center, about 2 minutes longer. 4. Serve the meatballs over vegetables and rice.
• 2. VEGETABLE DIRECTIONS: 1. Heat vegetable oil and chile oil together in a wok or skillet over medium heat, add garlic and stir until golden brown. 2. Add broccoli, shallots and water. Saute until tender, about 2 minutes. 3. Stir in all other ingredients except serrano pepper. 4. Add soy sauce mixture and toss until all vegetables are brightly colored (just cooked but still crispy). 5. Quickly stir in serrano pepper and remove from heat.
• 3. GARNISH IDEAS: Garnish with scallions, sesame seeds, sweet basil, pineapple, spicy peppers, or any combination of these if desired.

• For the dipping sauce, whisk all the ingredients together and set aside. Start to prepare the meatballs.
• Gently heat the sugar and fish sauce in a non-stick saucepan until the sugar has melted and mixture starts to thicken. Cool, then stir into the pork mince with the remaining ingredients mixing thoroughtly.
• With damp hands, roll into 15-20 small balls, place on a plate and chill until ready to cook.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the meatballs for 15-20 minutes, until brown and cooked through.
• As an appetizer, serve the meatballs hot accompanied by the dipping sauce. For a main meal, serve with rice/noodles and a vegetable stir fry.
• You can also freeze the meatballs raw and cook when needed. This works well.
• Happy chopping!

THAI COMBINATION FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a large wok or large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water evaporates upon contact. Add the oil and swirl, then add the carrot and tofu. Stir-fry until lightly colored, about two minutes. Add the garlic and stir-fry until golden, about 30 seconds. Pour in the beaten egg. Stir-fry until scrambled, then add the rice. Cook the rice - scooping it up and pressing it into the pan, then scooping it up again - for about two minutes. Add the fish, chile sauces, tomato and chopped scallions, then stir together for about a half-minute. Serve, garnishing each plate with the cilantro and cucumbers and passing lime wedges, scallions and fish sauce with chiles. Diners should squeeze lime juice onto their rice as they eat.
