Keeping the meatballs a consistent size ensures even doneness. If making them as an appetizer, they should be about 1.5 inches in diameter.

Need a great wine to serve with these Thai-style meatballs?

You’ve got to check out this nifty pairing suggestion menu from the Wine Institute. Since this is a Thai dish with a lot of flavor, a California Chenin or Riesling is a good call, or any Sauvignon Blanc would work really nicely as well.
