I am always on the look out for versatile dishes and this dish has so many wonderful ways to enjoy it. These Thermomix Thai Chicken Meatballs with Rice Noodles are full of punchy flavour.
We have enjoyed these in quite a number of ways:
- As a main meal with the rice noodles.
- As a simple meatballs & sauce with a glass of wine on a late Saturday afternoon.
- We had a few guests over and had these as finger food with a couple of different sauces.
- The kids have taken the leftovers for lunches.
So as you can see this dish lends itself to a multitude of ways to enjoy. You also get to have simple, delicious food whenever you need to entertain, fill the lunch boxes or even as a main meal. Whilst I haven't done it I think the meatballs and sauce lend themselves to be cooked in the slow cooker. I can only imagine how the sauce would soak into the chicken and give you an amazing flavour combo!

I used this recipe to make the meatballs with pork mince & omitted the bread to make it LCHF. Yum!
