Thai Chicken Balls

from Kristen in one of those recipe swap things that never seem to work LOL

This recipe is great for making with kids as they can do lots of stirring then spoon it into the muffin tins for you. These are very strongly flavoured so a little goes a long way - serve with plenty of rice and salad.
