  4. Cook on medium low until translucent but not browned.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool.
  6. In your bowl with the milk-soaked bread add the rest of the meatball ingredients, including the cooked onions.
  7. Mix it on low until the bread is broken apart and the meat is combined with the ingredients (using the stand mixer and not your hands helps keep the mixture cold and tender).

  9. Cook, uncovered, for 20-22 minutes.
  10. While the meatballs are cooking, in a large pot, add the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
  11. Stir well then turn on heat to medium-high.
  12. Cook for 4-5 minutes until sauce has thickened.
  13. Remove meatballs from baking sheet and add to sauce.
  14. Cook for 1 minute until well coated.
  15. Garnish with crushed peanuts and cilantro.
