INGREDIENTS:

Meatballs:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons grated ginger
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter
• 4 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Sauce:

• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 teaspoons grated ginger
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
2. In a large bowl, combine meatball ingredients and stir with a fork until ingredients are evenly distributed. Roll mixture into 1-inch meatballs and slide onto wooden skewers. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients until smooth. Remove 1/3 - 1/2 cup of sauce for basting. Reserve the remaining sauce for later.
