Tips:
- Use a variety of meats. This recipe calls for ground pork and beef, but you can use any combination of ground meats you like. Chicken, turkey, lamb, or veal would all be good choices.
- Breadcrumbs help to keep the meatballs moist. If you don't have any breadcrumbs, you can use crushed crackers or rolled oats instead.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough.
- Cook the meatballs until they are browned on all sides. This will help to seal in the juices and prevent the meatballs from drying out.
- Make sure the plum sauce is simmering before you add the meatballs. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
- Serve the meatballs immediately with the plum sauce. You can also garnish the meatballs with chopped green onions or cilantro.

These Asian meatballs with plum sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or potluck, and they are also a great way to use up leftover meat.
