Ingredients
The Meatballs
- ½ ½ medium onion chopped
- 1 1 inch piece of ginger peeled
- 3 3 cloves garlic
- 1 1 tablespoon EACH: fish sauce, red Thai curry paste, and soy sauce gluten-free or coco aminos if needed
- 1 1 lb ground chicken
- oil for the pan
The Curry Sauce
- 1 1 15-ounce Can coconut milk
- 1 1 tablespoon EACH: fish sauce and soy sauce gluten-free or coco aminos if needed
- 1-3 1-3 tablespoons red Thai curry paste depending how flavorful or spicy you like it
- ¼ ¼ cup almond butter
The Carrot Noodles
- 10 10 large carrots cut into strips with a julienne peeler or spiralized
Instructions
- Put a large pot of water on to boil. Add the onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, and curry paste to a small food processor and blend until smooth. Transfer the paste to a large bowl, add the chicken, and mix well. Divide into 16 meatballs.
- Heat a splash of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the meatballs, brown them on all sides, and let them cook through.
- While the meatballs are cooking, add all the curry sauce ingredients to a small pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer so the sauce thickens and then remove the pot from the heat.
- When the pot of water begins to boil, add the carrot noodles. Let them cook for 4-5 minutes, or just until they soften. Drain the pot and divide the noodles between 4 plates. Top with the meatballs and the curry sauce.
