# Thai Meatball Recipe | Look Chin

Cuisine: thai · Time: 45 minutes

## Ingredients

- 1 lb ground meat of choice (chicken, beef, turkey or pork)
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp white pepper powder
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp water
- 1/2 cup palm sugar or brown sugar
- 1/2 cup tamarind paste
- 3-6 Thai chiles, finely chopped, depending on spice preference
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp corn starch
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/4 cup minced cilantro leaves

## Steps

1. Add the meat and all other meatball ingredients to a food processor. Process on high until it’s a smooth paste.
2. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
3. As the meatballs are resting, you can make the sauce.
4. Add the sugar and tamarind paste to a small pot over medium high heat. Bring to a boil and then to a simmer until the sugar is dissolved.
5. Pound the garlic and chilies in a mortar and pestle to a paste, or put them in a food processor.
6. Add the garlic and chilies to the tamarind and sugar.
7. Mix the water and corn starch and add to the mixture, bringing it back to a simmer until it thickens. Adjust to the flavor to your liking. And add a little water if you like it a thinner consistency.
8. And now back to the meatballs!
9. Bring 8 cups of water to boil.
10. Roll the meat mixture into small balls, about 2 inches wide, and drop into the water.
11. Bring the water to a simmer, and let the meatballs simmer for about 10-15 minutes until cooked through.
12. Strain the meatballs.
13. Put on a kebab stick. (You don’t have to, but it’s more fun!)
14. Drizzle some sauce on top, or put the sauce in a container to dip the meatballs in.
15. Enjoy!
