Instructions
Thai Meatballs
Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit
Trim the ends of the lemongrass and remove the outer layer. Peel ginger. Transfer both to a food processor and blend until chopped finely. These are the toughest to chop so blend these before the other ingredients. Add the cilantro, green onions to the food processor and blend until chopped and well combined.
Rinse the bread under water and wring it out. Add the bread to the food processor. Add the egg and ground chicken. Blend until well combined.
Spray a large skillet or baking sheet with olive oil then spray your hands. Roll 2-3 tbsp of chicken into a ball then transfer to skillet/baking sheet. Repeat until you have use all of the chicken. Transfer to oven and cook for 20-25 minutes. If you prefer a crisper outside, broil for the last 2 minutes of baking.
When the meatballs are done baking, arrange on a platter and spoon the zesty Thai dipping sauce over.
