If there’s one cuisine I truly love, it’s Asian cuisine—in all its forms.
Someone once asked me how I could call it my favorite cuisine when it contains so many layers of flavor, so many cultures, and so many distinct culinary traditions. The simple answer is that I genuinely love them all. Thai food and Chinese food, Indian and Vietnamese cuisine. They’re all so different, yet all so special and delicious.
There’s something addictive about the balance of sour, spicy, and sweet. There’s something captivating about cultures that give so much respect to food—and, above all, so much respect to tradition.
This recipe for chicken meatballs in peanut sauce is a blend of influences from several countries, but it carries that same curiosity, uniqueness, and balance found in many Asian cuisines.
And a word about the sauce: it pairs beautifully with far more than just these meatballs. You can make the sauce on its own and serve it alongside egg rolls or spring rolls, drizzle it over a salad of thinly sliced root vegetables, toss it with noodles, or simmer cubes of tofu in it. I promise that no matter how you serve it, you’ll get compliments.
