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
- Soak the slice of bread in the milk in a small bowl.
- Mix the ground meats, soaked bread, and all remaining ingredients, up to the olive oil, until well combined.
- 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.
- In a small saucepan, heat the chili sauce over low heat.
- 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.
