Sweet and Spicy Asian Meatballs

Ingredients:

• 1 slice of white bread
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 220 g of minced pork
• 220 g of ground lamb
• 220 g of minced bison meat
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 tbsp peeled and finely grated ginger root
• 2 serrano peppers, chopped
• 2 shallots, chopped
• 0.5 tsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 0.5 tsp plum vinegar
• 0.5 tsp mirin
• Juice of 1 lime
• 0.5 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 egg
• 3-4 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 1 jar sweet chili sauce
• 0.5 tbsp. breadcrumbs, fried
• 3 tbsp chopped candied ginger

Preparation:

1. Soak a slice of bread in milk in a small bowl. Mix the ground meat, soaked bread, and all remaining ingredients until combined with the olive oil.
2. Form the meat mixture into walnut-sized balls. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry the meatballs. If you can't fit them all in the skillet at once, cook them in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
3. In a small saucepan, heat the chili sauce over low heat. Insert a toothpick or skewer into each meatball, then dip them in the sauce. Roll the ends in breadcrumbs and candied ginger and serve.
