I too saw these on the BBC site and decided I had to try them. They are so simple, but taste great. I had ground chicken on hand so I used that instead and just chopped the cilantro, chili, and green onion (I used those rather than regular onion as I prefer the taste) and grated the ginger and garlic, and just mixed by hand, as if making meatballs. The sweet chili sauce was a great compliment, as was a squeeze of lime on the top. A review on the BBC site suggested adding cumin and tumeric, which I think I might try as well, but I can see this being open to many other great variations. It's a good base recipe that works fine on it's own, but allows for easy individualization as well.
