Lion’s Head Meatballs in spicy Coconut Sauce

Here is a recipe that I found in Cooking light serveral years ago.
I like to use my grass fed beef.
It is a real winner and with the weather turnning cooler these days could be a good one for you as well.
Like all good things it takes some thought and time.

Sauce: combine all in large pot and set aside.
NOTE- I use regular milk in place of Soy.
1/2 cup coconut Milk
1/2 Cup Soy Milk
2Tbs. Minced fresh ginger
2 tsp. minced hot red Chile
1 Tbs. chopped green onion
2 Tbs. Thai fish sauce
( I chop up the rest of the water chestnuts and add those)
Meatballs:
1 pound ground meat
1/3 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped water chestnuts
2 Tbs. cornstarch
1 Tbs. flour
1 Tbs. minced fresh ginger
1 Tbs. soy sauce
1 Tbs. sesame oil
1 tsp. hot red pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. oil for frying
Combine meat and all ingredients; shape into meatballs and brown on all sides, about 7 minutes.
Add, sauce, simmer about 8 minutes
Garnish with:
1/4 cup fresh basil or cilantro (I use cilantro)
1 Tbs. grated lemon rind
