Notes
- This recipe should yield about 36 meatballs.
- For a sweeter twist, you can add a touch of honey or brown sugar to the sauce mixture.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, adjust the amount of Sriracha sauce to your taste.
- Don't skip the step of baking the meatballs before placing them in the crockpot. This ensures they hold their shape and don't fall apart during slow cooking.
- To make prep even quicker, you can shape the meatballs ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake.
- These Asian meatballs are versatile; serve them as an appetizer, over rice, or even in a sandwich for a delightful meal.
