Tips

• For a make-ahead option, cook the meatballs and store them in the sauce in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• These meatballs can be baked in a preheated 375°F oven for 15 minutes if you prefer not to use a skillet.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to maintain moisture.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with steamed jasmine rice or nestled in lettuce wraps for a lighter option.
• Pair with a crisp Asian pear slaw for a refreshing crunch.
