3. Ibasa ang paper towel ng konting vegetable oil, at pahiran sa baking sheet para ma-grease.
4. Gumamit ang 1 heaping tbsp ng meat mixture, gumawa ng meatballs at ilagay sa baking sheet.
5. Bake ang meatballs ng 15 minutes o hangang luto na sila sa gitna, i-flip ng isang beses.
6. Habang niluluto ito, gawin ang coleslaw. Sa medium na bowl, ipagsama ang mga coleslaw ingredients (yung bag of coleslaw mix, basil, mint, cilantro, at scallions)
7. Para gawin ng dressing, i- whisk ang rice vinegar, mayonnaise at sweet chili sauce sa maliit na bowl at ibuhos sa coleslaw, at haluin. Itabi ang meatballs na tapos na maluto.
8. Kapag tapos na ang meatballs, ilipat sa isang bowl at ihalo sa 1-2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce (light lang dapat ang coating) Para ma-assemble, maglagay ng isang scoop ng coleslaw sa lettuce, at i-top ng 3 meatballs.
