Title: Thai-Inspired Chicken Meatball Soup
Categories: Poultry, Chilies, Herbs, Citrus, Rice
Yield: 5 Servings

1 (4") piece fresh ginger;
Peeled
6 cl Garlic; peeled
1 Jalapeño
2 lb Ground chicken
1 lg Bunch cilantro; leaves &
- stems fine chopped, a few
- whole leaves reserved for
- serving
3 tb Fish sauce
Salt
2 tb Oil; more as needed
2 c Chicken broth
14 oz Can full-fat coconut milk
1/2 ts Granulated sugar
5 oz Baby spinach
1 tb Lime juice; + lime wedges
- for serving
Steamed white or brown rice;
- for serving

Using the small holes of a box grater, or a Microplane,
grate the ginger, garlic and jalapeño (or finely chop
them by hand). Transfer half to a large bowl and set the
rest aside. To the large bowl, add the chicken, finely
chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons fish sauce and 1
teaspoon salt. Use your hands or a fork to fully combine
but do not overmix.

Use your hands or an ice cream scoop to form 2-inch
meatballs (about 2 ounces each). In a large Dutch oven
or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Working in
batches, add the meatballs in a single layer and cook,
flipping halfway through, until golden brown on two
sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat,
adding oil as needed.

Once all the meatballs are browned and out of the pot,
if the oil is burned, wipe it out and add a bit more to
the pot. Reduce the heat to medium, add the reserved
ginger mixture and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chicken broth, coconut milk, sugar and the
remaining 1 tablespoon fish sauce, and bring to a
simmer. Add the meatballs and any juices from the plate,
and simmer until the flavors come together and the
meatballs are cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes.

Remove from heat, and stir in the spinach and lime
juice. Divide rice among bowls, then top with meatballs,
broth and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
