Vietnamese Meatballs

SUBMITTED BY: DeAnna L.  PHOTO BY: handbanana 

"These meatballs have a Vietnamese flair and are quite tasty! They can be served as an appetizer with a dipping sauce, or served with rice as a meal. I like them on a bed of hot jasmine long grained rice that's been cooked in a rice cooker!"
