Asian Meatballs and Lime Sesame Dipping Sauce

It is meat night for the boys again. Time for some Asian flair. Don't be scared by the amount of ingredients. You are making both sauce and meatballs, but both the recipes are very easy to make. These have a nice asian flair. My husband, Daughter, Son, and his gilfriend Bryanna, all loved them. They were gone almost instantly. You can serve these as an appetizer or as a meal over steamed rice.
