  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp ginger, finely minced
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (1–2 limes)
  • 1/2 tsp sriracha

DIRECTIONS :

  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for about 15 minutes or until done.
  6. In a mixing bowl, add all the ingredients for the coleslaw. Stir everything until well incorporated.
