How to Make Asian Meatballs With Rice Noodles

1. In a large bowl, combine ground meat, soy sauce (2 tbsp), ginger (1 tbsp, minced), garlic (2 cloves, minced), fish sauce (1 tbsp), brown sugar (1 tbsp), cornstarch (1 tbsp), red pepper flakes (1/2 tsp - 1 tsp, adjust to taste), and green onions (2 stalks, chopped). Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
2. Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. Arrange meatballs on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
4. While the meatballs are baking, cook the rice noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce (1 tbsp), rice vinegar (2 tbsp), sesame oil (1 tbsp), and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional).
6. Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to the cooked rice noodles along with the sauce. Toss to coat evenly.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with extra green onions and sesame seeds (optional).
