  • Choose High-Quality Meat: Use a combination of ground pork and beef for a flavorful and juicy meatball. Ensure the meat is fresh and ground coarsely for a better texture.
  • Seasoning is Key: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Ginger, garlic, and green onions add depth and warmth to the meatballs. Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less chili paste or Sriracha.
  • Proper Mixing: Mix the meatball mixture gently but thoroughly. Overmixing can result in tough meatballs.
  • Chill Before Cooking: Chilling the meatball mixture for at least 30 minutes helps the flavors meld and prevents the meatballs from falling apart during cooking.
  • Shape and Size: Roll the meatball mixture into uniform-sized balls. Smaller meatballs cook more evenly and quickly.
  • Sear for Flavor: Sear the meatballs in a hot skillet with oil to create a golden-brown crust that adds flavor and locks in the juices.
  • Simmer in Sauce: After searing, simmer the meatballs in a flavorful sauce made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. This step infuses the meatballs with even more taste.
  • Garnish and Serve: Garnish the finished meatballs with green onions, sesame seeds, or cilantro for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot with rice or noodles.
