Thai Curry Vegan Meatballs and Green Beans

My version of Thai green curry: Plenty of cilantro, green chili pepper, oat milk, green beans, vegan chicken meatballs, and shatta peppers for added color and mild spiciness. Serve with white rice, lick your fingers, and run with your plate to the kitchen for extra.
Servings: 4

  6. Using wet or greased palms, form the chicken or meat mixture into balls with a diameter of about 4 cm (1.5-Inch) and add to the sauce; pour the sauce over the balls with a spoon, add Shata pepper, and cook for 15 minutes uncovered, occasionally shaking the pan forwards, backward and sideways.
