About

This one I made for NYE. I'm going with a bit of an international theme. This one was really simple to make and is full of bold flavors!!! I made this one up looking at a few different Asian meatball recipes and kinda of took a bit from each to make these. Make these ahead of time then warm them in a pot before serving.
