These gingery meatballs are a snap to make—you just drop them from a tablespoon onto the broiler rack. While the meatballs cook, the veggies simmer, so it’s a one-pot meal that tastes like it took much longer to make. Use a melon ball to scoop the meat mixture and shape them into evenly-sized meatballs. Roll the meat into balls using the palm of your hands. Stand near the sink or keep a small bowl of water nearby in case the meat starts to stick to your hands, you can quickly wet your hands to prevent this.

Instructions

  1. Spray broiler rack with nonstick spray. Preheat broiler.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and gently stir in meatballs, lime juice, and fish sauce.
