For a richer flavor, consider using freshly grated ginger and garlic in the meatball mixture. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a slurry of cornstarch and water in the last 15 minutes of cooking. Serve these meatballs over steamed rice, quinoa, or egg noodles for a complete meal. They are also excellent as appetizers with toothpicks. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
