Meatballs with nouc cham, cucumber and mint
Variations of these meatballs can be found throughout Vietnam and Thailand, typically skewered and grilled over an open flame. This pan-fried version eliminates the necessity for skewers or an open flame. It also enables us to enjoy them by hand in lettuce cups, which we appreciate.
These are delightful as a shared snack, allowing everyone to serve themselves and create their own wraps. They also pair nicely when served with some blanched vermicelli noodles in a bowl, mixed with the salad, herbs, and drizzled with the nuoc cham dipping sauce.

Cooking Instructions

Place the first six ingredients for the meatballs in a medium bowl, with 1/4 tsp of salt and 3/4 tsp of ground white pepper. Stir well to combine, until the sugar dissolves, then add the rice and meat. Mix well, then form into roughly 30 g balls. Flatten them slightly and place on a baking tray. Keep in the fridge until ready to cook.

Next make the nouc cham. Put the garlic, chillies and flakes salt into a pesstle and mortar and pound to form a wet paste ; the chillies won’t break down completely. Add the remaining ingredients, then transfer to a screw top jar. If you don’t have pestle and mortar, place all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until the chillies and garlic are broken up.

Put half of the oil into a large frying pan and place on a medium - high heat. Add half the patties and cook from 4 - 5 minutes, turning them halfway, until cooked through. Add the rest of the oil to the pam and continue with the remaining batch. Transfer to a salad platter and serve warm or at room temperature.

Pork meatballs with mint and tzatziki Pork meatballs with mint and tzatziki
Today was Family Day, a provincial holiday to celebrate family togetherness. After a busy day out and about, my original plan was to come home and make a simple Filipino torta for dinner. Problem was, neither my wife nor my daughter are particularly big fans of torta, and it just seemed wrong to make a Family Day dinner that the entire family wouldn't enjoy. So I took the same ingredients, added a little mint and Greek yogurt from the fridge, and made Mediterranean inspired meatballs with tzatziki instead. It was much more enthusiastically received. And pretty darned tasty, too.

Beef Meatballs in Broth with Vegetables Beef Meatballs in Broth with Vegetables
This is my recipe for Meatballs IN BROTH. Almost all recipes include an egg in the ground meat mixture. I don't like adding egg, so I came up with this way to make the meatballs. They turn out very good and tender.When you make this recipe, ask the butcher for a white bone with the meat and take the opportunity to cook a piece of meat to shred for later use, or try to make it when you have beef or chicken broth stored in the freezer. It can also be made with water and bouillon, but it doesn't taste the same.

Except for the sauces a traditional dish. This is also with an optional flavorful rice. This recipe is a tribute for all the hardships of not only yesteryear but also for today. The Lionhead meatballs are originally put together for when times were hard so they added a lot of easy to get stuff to them. Things that are on hand. It was to fill the tummies of many people. When you try not to waste any food and make it stretch you can come up with some very tasty meals. This rice was added to a little of the oil to fry the meatballs. Then the drippings as the meatballs steamed with the bok-choy there was more then enough to cook the rice in. All I did was add a little bit of soya sauce and salt. A complete meal in harmony using most of the ingredients to cook each item. For my prayers and Hope's that all can eat and reduce waste so all can benefit.

Spaghetti with Meatballs Spaghetti with Meatballs
This challenge filled me with nostalgia. I remembered when my son wanted to learn how to cook his favorite foods. He started with eggs—scrambled, fried, and more. Then came ground meat: burgers, meatball soup, Smyrna-style meatballs, and the ultimate—spaghetti with meat sauce or meatballs in tomato sauce, which I’m sharing with you today in his honor, for all the wonderful moments we shared when, from the age of 8, he’d put on his apron and we’d cook together. His specialty is spetzofai, which I’ve posted before. He absolutely loves my Swedish meatballs, so I make them whenever he asks. Of course, he also loves moussaka, pastitsio, and stuffed vegetables, but those have already been published. One piece of advice: cook with your kids—you won’t regret it.

Valencian Paella with Artichokes, Meatballs, and Brown Rice Valencian Paella with Artichokes, Meatballs, and Brown Rice
I make it with an electric paella pan, and it turns out very good. The trick is not to use too much rice, and since it's brown rice, RINSE it well to remove the starch. The cooking time for brown rice is exactly the same as for white rice. If you overcook it, it becomes mushy and is no good. Don't worry, it won't be undercooked. Give it a try.1 part rice to 2 parts water.
