Instructions
- Place your ground beef in a medium bowl and season with 1/2 tsp. fish sauce. Form 24 meatballs using about a tablespoon of beef for each one. Set aside.
- Heat half the can of coconut milk in a medium skillet over medium heat. Let it cook for a few minutes until it thickens and bubbles. Add the curry paste and work it into the coconut milk using the back of a wooden spoon.
- Once combined, add the rest of the coconut milk along with the meatballs. Spoon the curry sauce over the top of the meatballs and cook, stirring now and then, for 2-3 minutes.
- Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the water, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of fish sauce. Toss in the whole wild lime leaves. Simmer and stir occasionally for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove the lime leaves, and serve.
Notes
- To store Coconut Curry Meatballs, place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For freezing, just ensure they are fully cooled and stored in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, simmer in a large skillet over medium heat until warmed through, or microwave in a microwave-safe dish for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway. Add a splash of water or coconut milk if the sauce thickens too much during reheating.
