Make sauce
To make the sauce, add the ingredients except the lime juice into a saucepan. Heat over medium high heat until bubbly. Then reduce heat to a simmer. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and add in lime juice.
Where are all the comments?! I made the Asian Meatballs for dinner tonight. The meatballs were good. But I think the dipping sauce over powered the flavor of the meatball. (I used soy sauce) I have a few leftover so I will try them without the sauce and see how they are. Thank you for the recipe.
