Ingredients:
1 slice white bread |
1/2 cup whole milk |
1/2 pound ground pork |
1/2 pound ground lamb |
1/2 pound ground bison |
3 garlic cloves, chopped |
1 tablespoon peeled and finely grated fresh ginger |
2 serrano peppers, chopped |
2 shallots, chopped |
1/2 tablespoon fish sauce |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
1/2 teaspoon plum vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon mirin |
1 lime, juiced |
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves |
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper |
1 egg |
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil |
1 jar sweet chili sauce |
1/2 cup panko crumbs, toasted |
3 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger |
Directions:
1. Soak the slice of bread in the milk in a small bowl.
2. Mix the ground meats, soaked bread, and all remaining ingredients, up to the olive oil, until well combined.
3. Roll the meat mixture into walnut-sized balls. In a large saute pan, over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and sear the meatballs. If you can't fit them all in the pan at once, cook in batches. Sear into golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
4. In a small saucepan, heat the chili sauce over low heat.
5. Stick a toothpick or skewer into each meatball, then dip them into the sauce. Roll the tips in toasted panko and crystallized ginger and serve.
