400g lean chicken mince
2 green onions, chopped finely
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2cm piece fresh ginger (10g), grated
¼ teaspoon five-spice powder
½ cup (50g) packaged breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh coriander
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh thai basil
1 egg
24 gow gee wrappers

Gow gee wrappers are found packaged in the refrigerated section
of Asian grocery stores as well as in some supermarkets. Wonton
or spring roll wrappers can be used instead.

Sweet Chilli Dipping Sauce
1/3 cup (80ml) sweet chilli sauce
¼ cup (60ml) red wine vinegar

Using hands, combine chicken, onion, garlic, ginger, five-spice, breadcrumbs, sauce, herbs and egg in large bowl. Roll level tablespoons of the mixture into balls; place balls on tray. Cover;
refrigerate 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, make sweet chilli dipping sauce.

Brush one wrapper with water; place one chicken ball in centre of wrapper. Fold wrapper over to completely enclose chicken ball. Pleat edge of wrapper along join; repeat process with remaining wrappers and chicken balls.

Place gow gees, in single layer, about 1cm apart in baking-paper-lined steamer fitted over large saucepan of boiling water; steam, covered, about 8 minutes or until gow gees are cooked through.

Sweet Chilli Dipping Sauce
Place ingredients in screw-top jar; shake well.

Tracey has a wonderful recipe for Thai Chicken Meat Balls. They're a favourite in our house! I'll see if I can find it!

I made some hamburgers the other day with chicken mince.
Mixed it with a bit of red curry paste, egg, corriander, couscous (instead of breadcrumbs cos I had some leftover), shallots. Shaped it into patties and served it with salad and sweet chilli sauce in Turkish bread. Easy and yum!
