Instructions:

Asian Glazed Meatballs:

1. Preheat oven to 375 F.

2. Add the chicken, garlic, almond flour, eggs and seasoning into a large bowl, and combine.

3. Use your hands to form meatballs with the meat mixture. (If the mixture is too loose/sticky, you can add some extra almond flour to provide more structure).

4. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

5. Bake for 20 minutes and until chicken is fully cooked.

Glaze:

1. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sweetener, garlic and ginger into a skillet at low heat.

2. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with water.

3. Add the cornstarch mix to the cooking soy sauce mix.

4. Let it simmer for around 7-8 minutes and until it reaches a thickened consistency.

5. Pour the glaze over top meatballs when serving!

Inside Out Spring Rolls:

1. Add the chicken, garlic, almond flour, eggs and seasoning into a large bowl, and combine.

2. In a large skillet, add the chicken. Use a spatula or large spoon to spread around evenly.

3. Allow the chicken to cook until evenly cooked. Periodically stir to avoid getting giant chicken clumps.

4. While the chicken is cooking, add all the ingredients for the peanut dipping sauce and combine.

5. Once the chicken is fully cooked, add in the cabbage. You can add the cabbage in parts to avoid overspill. (Any leftover cabbage can be used in salads, stews and more!)

6. Add in the carrots next. Stir in with the chicken and sauce.

7. Once the vegetables are softened and nearly cooked, pour in the sauce and stir it in.

8. Cook for a few minutes more before removing from heat.

9. Sprinkle the green onions on top and drizzle with peanut butter sauce.
