Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken or turkey, breadcrumbs, chopped cilantro, onion, fish sauce, red curry paste, grated ginger, lime juice, egg, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix everything until well incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into small meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Cooking
- Bake the meatballs for 15-20 minutes until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
- While the meatballs bake, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons of red curry paste to the skillet, sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the coconut milk, fish sauce, sugar, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cooking for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Add the sliced red bell pepper to the skillet, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
- Gently add the baked meatballs into the curry sauce, stirring to coat them.
- Finally, mix in the baby spinach, allowing it to wilt before serving.
Serving
- Serve the meatballs over a bed of fluffy cooked rice, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for an extra zing.
