Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 stalks green onion
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 50 grams breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 200 milliliters coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
- 10 grams fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Finely mince the garlic and ginger. Thinly slice the green onions, separating the white and green parts.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine ground pork, garlic, ginger, white parts of the green onions, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, breadcrumbs, and the egg. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
Roll the mixture into 20 evenly sized meatballs and place them on a plate.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and cook, turning frequently, until browned on all sides and cooked through (about 8–10 minutes). Remove and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, reduce heat to low and add the peanut butter, coconut milk, and red curry paste. Whisk until smooth.
Step 6
Simmer the sauce for 3–5 minutes, then stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 7
Return the meatballs to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat in the satay sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 8
Garnish with the green parts of the green onions, chopped peanuts, and fresh cilantro.
Step 9
Serve warm as an appetizer or over steamed rice as a main dish.
