Sticky Thai Chicken Meatballs

Apr 15, 2019 · 2 Comments

Flavourful and simple to pull together, make these Sticky Thai Chicken Meatballs for dinner tonight.

Sticky, sweet and spicy are a great way to describe these chicken meatballs when served with the glaze.

They are still tasty on their own for those who prefer simple flavours, or kick it up a notch and add the sweet and spicy glaze lightly drizzled on top for some extra wow factor.

The Meatballs

We developed the flavours of the meatballs after making them a few times and using a few traditional Thai ingredients like fish sauce, chili, lime, and garlic, plus fresh cilantro and mint. Shrimp paste was added for another hit of umami as we already had it in the refrigerator.

With so much flavour coming from the meatballs and the glaze itself, salt and pepper is not needed.

The Glaze

Our finger licking good glaze was created following similar instructions for a chicken wings recipe made earlier this year. This glaze touches on salty, sweet and spicy.

We recommend you play with your glaze as soy sauce can be salty so perhaps start with less soy sauce.

Four of us tried the glaze and we each tasted something different. My daughter thought salty, my son spicy, I got sweet and then my daughter got spicy for a second flavour. Both my husband and I liked the salty flavour (when tasting out of the pot) and found it lightened up when drizzled on the meatballs and the rice noodles.
