My husband calls these Vietnamese-style meatballs "flavor bombs." Serve them over rice for a quick weeknight dinner.

Vietnamese-Style Meatballs with Chili Sauce

eggs

fish sauce

garlic,

ginger

red pepper flakes

lime limes

cilantro

mint,

85% beef

lb pork

panko

unsalted peanuts,

Asian chili sauce,

soy sauce

lime juice,

sugar

Preheat the oven to 400°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.

In a large bowl, combine the eggs, fish sauce, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, scallions, lime zest, cilantro, and mint. Whisk to combine. Add the beef, pork, and panko. Using your hands, mix until evenly combined. Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized balls and arrange on an unlined baking sheet. The mixture will be a bit sticky; dampen your hands every so often while rolling the meatballs if necessary. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping once with a metal spatula halfway through the cooking time, until the meatballs are browned and cooked through. (If the meatballs stick a bit to the pan, simply slide the metal spatula underneath them and they should release.)  

Meanwhile make the sauce by whisking all of the ingredients together in a medium bowl. Be sure the sugar is completely dissolved and not stuck to the bottom of the bowl. Taste and add more chili sauce if desired.

Serve the meatballs drizzled with the sauce and sprinkled with scallions, cilantro, mint, and peanuts. (Be judicious with the sauce; it's very strong in flavor.)

<strong>Make Ahead:</strong> The meatballs can be made completely ahead of time and refrigerated in a tightly sealed container for 2 to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave. 

<strong>Freezer-Friendly Instructions:</strong> The meatballs can be frozen for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to serve them, reheat them in the microwave.
