Notes
- Freezing raw meatballs
- Place on a baking sheet. cover loosely with plastic wrap and freeze several hours. Remove from the baking sheet, and store in a freezer-safe plastic bag. To eat, remove as many meatballs as you need and bake on a baking sheet in the oven at 400 degrees F. You’ll need 10-15 minutes.
- Freezing cooked meatballs
- Allow to cool completely and place on a baking sheet. cover loosely with plastic wrap and freeze several hours. Remove from the baking sheet, and store in a freezer-safe plastic bag. To eat, remove as many meatballs as you need and heat in the microwave until piping hot.
- Additions/Substitutions
- Green onion – added along with the cilantro, gives more green and a lovely flavor.
- Fish sauce or soy sauce – if you’re looking for a little more umami flavor, adding a teaspoon of one or the other will be delicious.
- Lime juice – I love a little fresh lime in this recipe, it really brightens it up!
