Ingredients

Peanut Dipping Sauce:

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. 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.
  3. Roll the mixture into round, golf ball size meatballs, making sure to pack the meat firmly.
  4. 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.
  5. Roast until firm and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Allow the meatballs to cool about 5 minutes before removing from the baking dish.
  6. Garnish with shaved carrots and chopped roasted peanuts. Serve with Peanut Dipping Sauce.
