Honestly, I wasn’t a big fan of these. I think the meatballs have potential…however to me, they were fairly bland. They tasted OK drenched in the dipping sauce, but then all I felt sodium overload from the soy sauce. Sigh. I can’t put my finger on what they were missing, but it’s definitely SOMETHING. Maybe more ginger or perhaps additional seasonings to spice it up some? I’ll let you decide. Adapted from Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes

Hi there, found your blog from org.junkie. From the looks of the recipe, the meatball mixture is missing some heat. I would add a teaspoon of dried red pepper flakes and maybe swap out the soy sauce for fish sauce in the meatball mixture too :)
