Combine all meatball ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Mix gently until thoroughly combined. Be careful not to mix too much because it can make the meatballs dry.
Spray the bottom of the air fryer, because they do stick. Use a small scoop, melon baller, or meat baller to make 1 inch diameter meatballs- 1 pound of meat typically makes about 20 meatballs.
Place the meatballs in an air fryer with about an inch in between each (may have to do a couple of rounds depending on the size of your air fryer). Cook on 375 for about 10 minutes, making sure to flip halfway through. *** If you are not using an air fryer, cook the meatballs in the oven at 375 for about 20 minutes.
While the meatballs are cooking, combine all of the sauce ingredients into a pan and whisk until smooth. Let this simmer for about 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
In another pan, choose all of your favorite veggies- for this recipe I used broccoli, snap peas, and baby corn. Cook them on medium-high for about 5 minutes.
When the meatballs are done, put them in the pan with the sauce. Coat them thoroughly with the sauce.
Serve over your favorite rice, veggies, and top with excess sauce. Enjoy!

Use any veggies and your favorite kind of rice to make this your own.
Use your oven or just the pan for your meatballs if you do not have an air fryer.
If you like it extra saucy, double the sauce recipe.
