Instructions
To make the meatballs, add all meatball ingredients to a bowl and mix completely. Roll mixture into 1.5" balls, and bake at 400 degrees for 14-16 minutes.
To make the sauce, dissolve brown sugar in warm water. Add to a pan over low stove heat along with all other sauce ingredients except flour and lemon juice. Stir constantly until combined.
Bring your stove heat to medium and let your sauce rise to a simmer. Simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. If sauce has not thickened, mix 1 tsp flour with 1 tsp of water, and stir into the sauce. Once thickened, turn the heat to low and add lemon juice.
Add meatballs to pan with sauce, and coat. Keep on low heat for 1-2 minutes.
Serve over jasmine rice with fresh veggies and herbs.
