meatless meatballs,

Yes, it is possible to enjoy vegan meatballs that taste just like the real thing. I wasn’t sure if I should call them meatballs or just balls. But it seemed more appropriate to call them meatballs.

What are vegan Thai meatballs made of?

Good question! I wanted to keep them moist and firm enough so that they don’t fall apart without adding eggs. So I made these tender, delicious meatballs with nutritionally packed black beans, certified gluten-free oats and Thai spices. 

Thai sauce,

The meatballs are smothered in a mildly spiced gluten-free red Thai sauce. The creamy sauce is super easy to whip up. 

To keep it creamy, I used coconut milk. For the flavour, vegetable broth, Thai curry paste, tomato paste, tamari, lime juice and basil.

There are many ways you can serve this Thai dish.

This gluten-free Thai meatball recipe is super versatile. You can serve the tender meatballs as finger food for large gatherings, for lunch with a light salad or for dinner as an entree with simple parsley rice. 

The last time I served these meatballs, no one could tell they were vegan. They are that deceptively good!
