2 tablespoons small pearl tapioca
½ quart boiling water
½ pound ground chicken
¼ cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons dried breadcrumbs
½ cup berries
2 tablespoons grated onion
2 cloves garlic, grated
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons condensed milk
1½ tablespoons sugar
1½ tablespoons sesame oil
¼ cup coconut milk

  1. Simmer tapioca in water until almost translucent, 10 minutes.  Let stand off heat 5 minutes.  Drain and rinse.
  2. Mix chicken, cilantro, breadcrumbs, berries, onion, garlic, tapioca, salt, and pepper; roll into 1-tablespoon balls.  In medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat.  Add meatballs and cook through, 6 to 8 minutes.
