- Place the dish in the oven and let the meatballs bake for 10 minutes.
- Take the dish out of the oven and generously brush the tops of the meatballs with sweet chili sauce.

- Once done, remove the dish from the oven and serve the meatballs with extra sweet chili sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Enhance the citrus flavor by adding extra lime zest to the meatball mixture.
- Grate more fresh ginger to intensify the ginger flavor in the meatballs.
