recipe

  • Step 1
    In a food processor, pulse the chicken to roughly grind it.
  • Step 2
    Chop the garlic.
  • Step 3
    Then, mix it in a bowl with finely chopped garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Step 4
    Roll the mixture into 1-1.5 inch balls. (Tip: Put a bit of oil on your hands to keep it from sticking to you.)
  • Step 5
    Now, drizzle some olive oil in a frying pan and fry the meatballs over high heat for 5 minutes, turning them over on all 4 sides so they cook evenly.
  • Step 6
    Once the meatballs are golden, add the soy sauce to the pan and sauté for another minute.
  • Step 7
    Then, add the coconut milk and curry, and mix together. Cover and simmer over low heat for 2 minutes.
  • Step 8
    Meanwhile, place the vermicelli noodles in a bowl. Cover them in boiling water and leave to soak for 5 minutes. Then drain.
  • Step 9
    Serve the noodles with the meatballs and sauce on top. Optional: Top with a bit of cilantro and a wedge of lemon if you have any. And enjoy!
