  • 2 tsp Fish Sauce
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup Onion diced

  • 2 15oz cans Canned Unsweetened Coconut Milk
  • 1 tsp Cornstarch
  • 2 tsp Light Brown Sugar

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, egg, milk, and set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Add ground meat, ginger, curry paste, fish sauce, sugar, salt, garlic, onion, and mix to combine.

  • Stir cornstarch in to the other can of coconut milk, and add to the pan. Add brown sugar, garlic, lime, fish sauce, cilantro and stir to combine.
  • Add meatballs to the pan and simmer them in the sauce until cooked through, about 10 more minutes.
