Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground meat, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
  2. Roll the mixture into small meatballs, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, and brown the meatballs for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic and grated ginger for about 1 minute. Then whisk in red curry paste and coconut milk, stirring until smooth. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add soy sauce and lime juice, stir to combine, and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Return browned meatballs to the skillet, immersing them in the sauce. Cover and simmer on low for 10-15 minutes until cooked through.
  6. Ladle the creamy coconut curry meatballs into serving bowls, garnish with cilantro, and serve with jasmine rice, rice noodles, or crusty bread.
