Notes

  •  
  • Storage & Make Ahead
  • Other Filling Options: Pan-seared chicken breast seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and garlic powder then cooked until done and thinly sliced.
  • If you can't find daikon, radishes can also be used.
  • Store: Keep meatballs and pickled veggies in airtight containers in the fridge for 3-5 days.
  • Freeze: Freeze the cooked meatballs in a sealed container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
  • Reheat: Warm the meatballs in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
  • Make Ahead: Pickle the veggies and make the meatballs up to 3 days in advance. Assemble sandwiches just before serving for the freshest taste.
