For a richer flavor, consider browning the meatballs in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of chili-garlic sauce to control the spiciness of the dish. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste. Serve these meatballs with toothpicks for an easy and delicious appetizer. They're also great over rice or noodles for a complete meal. If you don’t have Chinese five-spice powder, you can make your own blend using equal parts ground cinnamon, star anise, fennel seeds, Szechuan peppercorns, and cloves.
