Ingredients

• For the meatballs:
• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 cup red onion, finely chopped
• ⅓ cup cilantro, roughly chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp ginger, peeled and finely chopped
• 1½ tbsp fish sauce (nam pla)
• ½ tbsp honey

• 2 tbsp canola or vegetable oil
• For the dipping sauce:
• ¼ cup hoisin sauce
• 2 tbsp soy sauce

Directions

• Put all the ingredients for the meatballs in a food processor and blend until everything is mixed and minced. Transfer to a bowl.
• Put a little oil in your hands, just enough to lightly coat fingers and palms and use a tablespoon to scoop up the beef mixture so the meatballs are the same size. Repeat process until all the beef mixture is used.
• In a deep pan over medium high heat, add oil and the meatballs. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Turn the meatballs over, cover and cook for another 5 or until meatballs are golden brown.
• Mix all the ingredients for the dipping sauce in a bowl and serve together with beef meatballs. Pour over or use as a dipping sauce.
• Serve with rice, tomatoes and a few cilantro leaves.
