Origin

Grilled Fish Balls are a widespread traditional Thai street food, especially common in central and eastern regions of the country. They originated from shaping meat into round balls and grilling them over charcoal or on a pan. These savory treats are commonly served as snacks or main courses at gatherings, festivals, and sold by roadside vendors and night market stalls.

Characteristics and Flavor

Grilled Fish Balls have a round shape with a crispy, fragrant outer layer from grilling, while the inside remains soft and juicy. Their savory flavor comes from the meat, enhanced by the aroma of garlic and spices. Some vendors sprinkle sesame seeds or toss the balls in a sweet-spicy sauce to elevate the taste.

Ingredients

Pork/chicken/fish, tapioca starch, garlic, black pepper, fish sauce, sugar, sesame oil (optional)

Serving Method
