Instructions

In a large bowl combine the bread crumbs and milk and set aside for 5-10 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
Add the remaining meatball ingredients to the breadcrumb mixture and combine using your hands, being careful not to overmix.
Chill the meatball mixture for one hour in the refrigerator to make the meatballs easier to form.
Meanwhile, make the sauce. Combine all of the ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil at the same time that the meatballs are in the oven.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased aluminum foil.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the meatball mixture and form into a ball. Place each meatball onto the prepared baking sheet
Bake meatballs for 12-15 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees F.
Remove the pan from the oven and move meatballs to a serving platter, bowl, or on top of rice or stir fry noodles. Pour the sauce over the meatballs and serve immediately.
