How to make it

  1. In a bowl, combine ground chicken, Lee Kum Kee Minced Garlic, green onions, Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand Oyster Sauce, Lee Kum Kee Minced Ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, then form into 12 small meatballs.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides and cooked through, about 8–10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  3. In the same skillet, pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until it begins to split and release its fat, 3–5 minutes. Add 1 tsp Lee Kum Kee Minced Garlic and red curry paste. Stir and cook out for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.

  4. Stir in the orzo, then pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, for 8–10 minutes until orzo is tender and sauce is creamy. Stir in Thai basil (or cilantro) and lime juice.

  5. Nestle the cooked meatballs back into the orzo and let everything warm through for 2–3 minutes. Plate and drizzle with Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Chili Crisp Oil. Garnish with more basil and serve.
