These pork meatballs are generously seasoned with garlic and ginger and can be served anywhere you'd have an Asian meatball. These steamed bao buns for instance, were the perfect blank canvas to hold these meatballs with some kale and vegetable salad.

Add the rice wine vinegar, honey and chili crisp oil and heat to medium bringing to a boil. Mix the cornstarch and cold water together and add to pan. Thicken for 1 minute.
