A flavorful Thai dish featuring chicken meatballs served in a rich coconut curry soup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon red curry paste
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
- Egg noodles or rice (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, cilantro, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, red curry paste, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, cooking until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
- While the meatballs are baking, prepare the Khao Soi soup. In a large pot, combine chicken broth, coconut milk, red curry paste, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes.
- Once the meatballs are done, add them to the soup and stir to combine.
- Serve hot over cooked egg noodles or rice, garnished with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and chopped green onions.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding a splash of lime juice directly to the soup just before serving.
- You can substitute ground turkey or pork for the chicken for a different taste.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add more red curry paste or a dash of chili flakes to the soup.
