Number Of Ingredients 26

1 pound ground pork
1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp, ground or chopped finely
2 tablespoons minced lemongrass
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 lime, juiced
2 Thai chiles, minced
2 tablespoons minced ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup fresh Thai basil leaves, chopped
3/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 eggs
Olive oil
Carrot shavings, for garnish

Peanut Dipping Sauce, recipe follows
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/4 cup hot water
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Combine the pork, shrimp, lemongrass, sesame seeds, lime juice, chiles, ginger, garlic, basil, cilantro, mint, soy sauce, fish sauce, breadcrumbs and eggs in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand until thoroughly incorporated. Drizzle the olive oil into a 9 by 12-inch baking dish, making sure to evenly coat the entire surface.
  • Roll the mixture into round, golf ball size meatballs, making sure to pack the meat firmly.
  • Place the balls into the oiled baking dish such that all the meatballs are lined up evenly in rows and are touching each of their 4 neighbors in a grid.
  • Roast until firm and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Allow the meatballs to cool about 5 minutes before removing from the baking dish.
  • Garnish with shaved carrots and chopped roasted peanuts. Serve with Peanut Dipping Sauce.

These meatballs were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add more sauce next time.
