Important Notes
💡 Adding mayonnaise to the meat mixture keeps them fluffy and juicy, preventing them from hardening even when cold.
🍳 Steam-frying ensures the meatballs are cooked thoroughly through to the center while keeping them plump.
⚠️ Since the glaze can burn easily after being added, roll the meatballs around to coat them quickly and reduce the sauce.
