VIETNAMESE BEEF BALLS - (THIT BO VIEN)
These crunchy little beef balls are very popular among the Vietnamese. They are served mainly as appetizers or added to noodle soups. Chili sauce (tuong ot) is the usual accompaniment, but any hot red pepper sauce can be served alongside.

Steps:
- In a shallow dish, mix the fish sauce, potato starch, baking powder, sugar and white pepper.
- Slice the meat into 1/8-inch-thick pieces.
- Add to the marinade and mix well.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Before proceeding, transfer the meat to the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Work with half of the beef at a time; do not overload the work bowl.
- In a food processor, combine half of the beef with half of the garlic and sesame oil.
- Process to a completely smooth but stiff paste, about 3 minutes.
- Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the work bowl.
- The completed paste should spring back to the touch.
- Transfer the paste to a bowl.
- Process the remaining beef, garlic and sesame oil the same way.
- Rub some vegetable oil on one hand, and grab a handful of the meat paste and close your hand into a fist, squeezing out a small portion of the mixture, about 1 teaspoon, between your thumb and index finger.
- Keep rolling and squeezing the same portion between your thumb and index finger until you obtain a smooth rounded ball.
- Scoop out the meatball with an oiled spoon, and repeat until all of the paste is used.
- Pour 1 inch of water into a wok or wide pot, place a steamer rack or bamboo steamer over the water.
- Arrange the meatballs without crowding in a single layer on the rack.
- Cover and steam for 5 minutes.
- Serve as an appetizer with chili sauce.
- These beef balls can also be added to a well-seasoned beef broth, sprinkled with chopped scallions and white pepper and served as a soup (noodles may be added).
- Note: These meatballs may be frozen.
- Thaw them thoroughly, then steam or simmer in boiling water until just heated through.
VIETNAMESE LEMONGRASS MEATBALLS
We enjoy these tasty meatballs served over a bowl of rice or wrapped in lettuce cups. They're balanced with flavors of spicy, salty, tangy, and sweet, and also make wonderful appetizers. Leftover meatballs may be stored in the freezer in a resealable plastic bag.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine ground pork, bread crumbs, shallot, lemongrass paste, mint, fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger root, and salt in a large bowl. Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, shape mixture into meatballs, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are no longer pink in the center and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing water, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, Thai chile, and garlic in a small bowl.
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Place meatballs under the hot broiler just until the tops start to turn brown to get a little color and crispness, about 2 minutes. Serve with the dipping sauce.
