For a richer flavor, consider browning the meatballs in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Adjust the sweetness of the sauce to your preference by adding more or less brown sugar. Serve over cooked rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for an added touch of elegance. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
