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
Instructions
- 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.

Reviews
Way too many ingredients.
This was a hit though there are so many ingredients. I made this for me and two friends and the flavors were full of depth. Kick*****job!
I served this dish at a neighborhood gathering. It was a BIG hit; everyone loved it. Even my daughter – who didn’t think ‘meatballs’ was a very ‘Asian’ dish – loved it. The spices are so complex and wonderful. These tasty morsels melt in your mouth. Will definitely make this again! Thank you!
Pedestrian is not a word to use with these “meatballs”. Complex, interesting; a wonderful hors d’oeuvre. Can’t wait to try other Brianna recipes. Only had aout 3/4 lbb of ground beef on hand, didn’t change the proportions since Iike alot of flavor and they turned out really well. Mixed all the ingredients in the food processor first then folded them into the meat. I broiled instead of sauteeing. Bravo!
Thank you for the recipe Brianna! I will be making this again.
