Taking to her Instagram Stories, the singer shared her go-to dish that had fans eager for the recipe.

Posting a video of her making Thai Chicken Balls, Ricki asked her followers whether or not they wanted her to reveal the recipe, to which an outstanding 96 per cent of viewers voted yes.

And, Ricki-Lee has come through on her promise and has shared the full recipe along with some tips on how fans can recreate the dish themselves.

"I cook them twice a week and keep them in the fridge for lunch!"

"I cook them twice a week and keep them in the fridge for lunch!" Ricki said of her easy dinner.
To make the Thai Chicken Balls, she said you will need chicken mince, garlic, ginger, lemongrass paste, onion, kaffir lime leaves, and a few different sauces (scroll down for full recipe). "This makes about 18 tablespoon sized meatballs," she added.
...

Ricki uses 2x tablespoons to 'roll' the mix into balls.

Once all the ingredients are mixed in together, Ricki said she used 2x tablespoons to "roll" the mix into balls. "That way you don't get all the mess on your hands!" she wrote.
She then said to cook the balls on medium heat, in "whatever oil you like", but added that she has been using vegetable or canola oil. When the balls have turned brown, she said to flip them over and then cook until they're brown on the bottom also. "Then I brown the sides a little too," she added.
...

Ricki fries them until they're cooked all the way through.

The 35-year-old fries them until they're cooked all the way through, and then she adds them in an "air tight" container and places them in the fridge; ready to be reheated for the next day.

"They're yum when you first make them but they're even better the next day... if you can wait," she said.
