Space about 1 inch apart making sure not to overcrowd the skillet because you want the meatballs to brown on the outside, not steam. Work in batches. Cook meatballs on all sides until browned on the outside and cooked through in the interior.

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.
