Spaghetti and meatballs...Vietnamese style! That's what this dish turned out like. I used my version of a common meatball and added it to a stir fried noodle base. Each of these would have made great recipes, apart. Read more .the meatballs would make a fantastic appetizer...but, I decided to post it as one dish. See less

- Mix well(I use my hands) until all ingredients are incorporated well.
- Form into walnut sized balls and place on a wire rack covering a cookie sheet, or similar set up. See Photo
- Lightly brush meatballs with the nuoc cham. Should use about 1/3 of the sauce. See Photo
- Bake in 400 oven for about 10 minutes.
- Carefully brush another layer of the sauce over the meatballs(I didn't bother turning them...it didn't need it :), again, using no more than about 1/3 of the sauce.
- Increase heat to 425 and return to oven for about 8 more minutes, but watch carefully so they don't over cook! See Photo

I made your nuoc cham sauce, stir fried some veggies and chicken, and put the lot atop Chinese noodles. It was very good!
