We made a delicious meal of these, Chinese eggrolls, Thai corn fritters, and nuoc cham dipping sauce. I found variations of this recipe on the web, but adjusted the amounts for the best flavor. These can also be grilled. UPDATE: I can't vouch for it being authentically Vietnamese, though the recipes I combined to make this were labeled that way. Also, I don't think fish sauce is a particularly Korean ingredient. I'd change the name to Asian Meatballs but that would mess up the URL.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground beef or 1 1/2 lbs pork
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon rice wine
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 egg white
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients until well blended.
2. Make 1 meatballs.
3. Put them on wooden skewers (about 4 per skewer-you kind of have to mold them on to the skewer).
4. Broil (or grill) until thoroughly cooked.
