The mixture creates a flavour that catches everybody out. Also, cooking these is a slow cooker gives you the time to have fun knowing that a lovely meal is on auto pilot. These Oriental Meatballs are ideal as a starter, side dish and main dish served with hot rice and simple greens. However, as a starter, serve with Soy Sauce and Sesame Dipping Sauce for a perfect nibble. As a side dish and main dish, serve with many recipes from the Chinese Category.
