Instructions
- Place ground chicken, green onions, fresh ginger, garlic and fresh cracked black pepper in a bowl and mix until combined. Coat your hand wish olive oil and roll meat into tablespoon-size balls (will make 15-20). Set aside.

Add meatball back into the pot and bring everything to a simmer until the meat balls are cooked through, 5-8 minutes. Stir in cilantro.
- Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions.
- Divide the noodles between bowls and ladle the soup over. Top each bowl as desired with Thai basil, green onion, shallot, lime juice and chili oil.
