Mini asian meatballs

These were a little hors d'oeuvre I came up with for a wine night, really easy and really popular, and now here's a gluten and fructose free version.  No more onion or ketchup manis  :(

Dish: Mini asian meatballs
Special need categories: gluten free, fructose free
Special needs explained: only use gluten & fructose free sauces, no onion

Meatball ingredients:

• mince meat. I typically use pork, chicken or turkey mince, whatever is on special.
• gluten free soy sauce
• brown sugar
• chilli
• coriander
• tamarind paste
• chineese five spice (check the packet, some spices contain gluten or onion)
• garlic

Dipping sauce ingredients:

• gluten free soy sauce
• sweet chili sauce (check it's gluten & fructose free)
• coriander
• tamarind paste
• brown sugar
• lime juice
• corn flour (make sure it is made from corn or maize)
• chineese five spice (check the packet, some spices contain gluten or onion)
• garlic

Method

Nice and easy, mix the meat ball mixture together and put little balls of it on a greased baking tray.  Bake in the oven at about 180 deg C till they look ready (maybe 20 min).  Mix the sauce in ingredients together and serve in a bowl along side the meat balls and don't forget the toothpicks.  See easy.

The meatballs and sauce could be made up ahead of time and simply cooked when they are needed as well.

If you are not making it GF then you could use ketchup manis instead of the brown sugar and some of the soy sauce.  If you are not making it fructose free then you could also put some finely chopped onion or onion powder in the meatballs.
