1/2 cup almond flour (organic)
1 bunch green onions (diced, about 6)
3 tsp garlic (minced, organic)
3 tsp ginger (minced, organic)
2 tbsp chili paste (You can use some red pepper flakes to taste if you do not have)
2 eggs (large, organic)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 cup avocado oil (organic)

Sauce:

1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup coconut aminos (organic)
1/4 cup brown monk fruit (or coconut sugar or sweetener of choice)
2 tbsp honey (raw, organic)
1 tsp garlic (organic, minced)
1 tsp ginger (organic, minced)
1 tbsp sesame seed oil

Instructions

1
In a large glass measuring cup, mix together all of the sauce ingredients and set aside.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, almond flour, green onions, garlic, ginger, spices, chili paste, & eggs. Mix until fully incorporated.
3
Form 20 large meatballs, about one and a half inches in size.
4
Preheat a large skillet or wok over medium high heat with the avocado oil. Once hot, add batches and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and meatballs have reached an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside.
5
Pour the sauce into your wok/skillet allowed to bubble up and then reduce the heat to low. Allowed to simmer for about five minutes or until the sauce has thickened. If your sauce is not as thick as you would like, whisk in a slurry (1 tablespoon of cornstarch +1 tablespoon of water).
6
Add the meatballs back into your pan and mix until all the meatballs are coated in the sauce. Serve over rice with some veggies and enjoy!
