Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and brown on all sides. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your skillet. When meatballs are done browning, transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. Reduce heat to medium low. Add coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, ginger, and chili paste/chili crunch/sriracha to the skillet. Whisk together.
  3. When sauce is well combined, add carrots and then meatballs back. Bring to a simmer then cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes (you want your meatballs to have an internal temperature of at least 165 F).
  4. Remove lid and stir in peas and bell peppers. Simmer uncovered for 5 more minutes.
  5. Garnish with peanuts, cilantro, and/or sliced green onion, and serve with rice or noodles!
