How to make it
For Nuoc Cham

For Meatballs
- Combine all ingredients together in large bowl. See Photo
- 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

- In large stir fry pan or wok, heat oil.

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