Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper.
- Place the meatball ingredients in a medium bowl and use your hands to combine them. Shape into 24 meatballs, each weighing about 20 grams.
- Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them until they are cooked through, for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce and cornstarch. Gradually whisk in the remaining ingredients, except for the sesame oil, until well-combined.
- Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens into a rich glaze. This should take 3-5 minutes. Turn the heat off as soon as the sauce thickens but leave it on the cooling burner. Stir in the sesame oil.
- Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the baked meatballs into the saucepan. Gently turn them in the sauce until well-coated. Serve immediately.

MINI MEATBALLS
I don't remember where I found this recipe - I've made it so often, I've memorized it. The trick to these meatballs is to only plan to use half of them - that's all I ever have left by the time I'm ready to put them in something else. It's the only time I've ever had ground beef melt in my mouth.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix really well.
- Roll meat into 1" balls- at this point, you can either continue or freeze them for later use, providing your beef wasn't pre-frozen.
- Arrange the meatballs on a rack over a foil-lined pan (for easy clean-up).
- Bake in a 400ºF oven for about 10 minutes, or until meatballs are browned- you can also freeze them at this point, or use them in other dishes (or just eat them plain).
Tips:
- For flavorful meatballs, choose a ground pork with a higher fat content, at least 80%. This will help keep the meatballs moist and juicy.
- To get the right texture, use a combination of ground pork and shrimp. The shrimp will add a bit of sweetness and elasticity to the meatballs.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the meatballs in the pan when cooking. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- To make sure the meatballs are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
These mini Taiwanese meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as soy sauce, vinegar, or chili sauce. For a more complete meal, serve them with rice or noodles. With their unique flavor and texture, these meatballs are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
