    Instructions

      Step One – Lemongrass Broth

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
    2. Heat 1 Tbs oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add Lemongrass and Ginger and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly caramelized and fragrant, about 1 minute.
    3. Add Veg/Seafood Stock and Coconut Milk. Cover & reduce heat to low. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Make Meatballs below while this cooks.)
    4. Strain out ginger and lemongrass, saving at least 2 cups of broth for soup.
    5. Step Two – Meatballs

    6. In a large mixing bowl, add Meatball ingredients and thoroughly combine by hand.
    7. Form meatballs and place on baking sheet. (I like roughly 1.5 tablespoon size, which makes about 15 meatballs).
    8. Heat 1/4 inch layer of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs in small batches and cook, undisturbed, for 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes so they are golden brown. Transfer finished meatballs back to baking sheet.
    9. Bake meatballs for 5 minutes, or until internal temp is 165°F.
    10. Step Three – Combine Soup

    11. Add 1 cup white rice with 1.5 cups water and a pat of butter to a small pot, bring to a gentle boil. Reduce to low, cover, and cook undisturbed for 13 minutes. (Or toss a couple 10 oz bags of frozen rice into the soup at the end)
    12. In a 10-in Dutch oven (or stockpot) heat 1 Tbs oil over medium heat. Add Garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant (about 15 seconds).
    13. Add the Veg/Seafood Stock, Lemongrass Broth, Coconut Milk, Lime Juice, and Salt. Bring to a gentle boil for 6-8 minutes.
    14. Add Meatballs and Fish Sauce, cook for another 3-4 minutes.
    15. Serve soup over rice with cilantro & lime garnish.
