Christina's Notes
- Even Meatballs: To ensure all of your meatballs stay a consistent size when rolling them into balls, use a cookie scoop to do so.
- Air Fryer: Air Fry these Chinese meatballs by adding to the air fryer tray in a single layer, cook at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
- Instant Pot: Make these asian meatballs in the instant pot using the saute setting.
- Ground Chicken: You can also make this recipe using ground turkey or chicken in place of the ground pork.
