  I browned the meatballs first and served with egg noodles. Really delicious.

  I also added straight to wok noodles which made this a hefty portion for 4. Very tasty, feels like its healthy and definitely one to make again and again. I used a 195g jar of Sharwoods Hoisin and Spring Onion sauce and didn't brown the meatballs, just popped them straight in.
