Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the sambal, the soy sauce, ginger, chicken, water chestnuts, garlic, scallions, cilantro and 2 tablespoons water (this will keep the meatballs really moist!). Use your hands to squish the mixture together until combined.
- Form a little tester patty and then cook and taste to make sure the chicken is really delicious. If the seasoning isn't just right, add a little more soy sauce or a sprinky-dink of salt. When you're confident the meatball mix is perfectly seasoned, form the meatballs.
- Roll the meatballs in the peanuts, and place on a small baking sheet. Roast until meatballs are cooked through, 12 minutes.
- In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise and the remaining 2 tablespoons sambal. Stir to combine and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Serve the meatballs hot with the chili-mayonnaise.
ASIAN CHICKEN MEATBALL SLIDERS WITH PICKLED CARROT AND DAIKON
Steps:
- For the quick-pickles: In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the carrot and daikon and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool. Refrigerate, covered, for 2 hours.
- For the sauce: Bring the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, vinegar and sambal to a simmer in a small saucepan. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- For the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the chicken, panko, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg, scallions and some salt and pepper. Mix well to combine, but don't overwork. Form the mixture into eight 2-inch balls.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the pan with canola oil. Add the meatballs and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until cooked though. Baste generously with sauce during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
- To assemble the sliders: Serve the meatballs on the buns, topping each with a tablespoon of the quick-pickles (drained) and some cilantro leaves. Secure with bamboo skewers and serve on a large platter with extra sauce on the side.

THAI-INSPIRED CHICKEN MEATBALL SOUP
This stellar soup is reviving and cozy, made in one pot, and ready in 30 minutes. It starts with ginger-scented chicken-cilantro meatballs that are browned, then simmered in a fragrant coconut milk broth that's inspired by tom kha gai, a Thai chicken-coconut soup seasoned with lemongrass, galangal, makrut lime leaves and chile. A heap of spinach is added for color and flavor, and a squeeze of lime adds brightness and punch. The soup is brothy, so serve it over rice or another grain to make it a full meal.

Steps:
- 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.
