Directions
Asian Meatballs With Sesame Lime Dipping Sauce,This recipe comes from the May 2007 issue of Gourmet magazine. This is a quick, delicious meal. Something different from the normal weeknight routine. Hope you enjoy it! Serve over steamed white rice. (One reviewer said that they substituted ground beef for the pork/veal and it turned out great that way too.),Great meatballs, great sauce, loved the crunch of the water chestnuts in it. I only had one pound of ground turkey, so that is what used, and it worked well. I also used nonfat milk and only a quarter of the sesame oil/sugar for our tastes. Served these with rice and Chinese broccoli, with some of the sauce over them too, and it was a yummy meal (though I wouldn’t call it a weeknight meal since the making of the meatballs does take a bit of time).,I thought the taste and texture of the meatballs were very good. But the sauce was too skimpy and kind of blah for me. I’m searching for a lime/soy/sesame sauce that works better. But again, I thought the meatballs were yummy.
