Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray until lightly greased. Drop meatballs onto sheet(about 1 inch wide). Roll into ball shape.
Cook 18-20 minutes or until done.
Asian Glaze Directions
In small bowl, mix corn starch with 2 tablespoon of water (this prevents the cornstarch from clumping together). Set aside for later use.
Combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, 2 tablespoon water, siracha, garlic powder and ginger in a medium sauce pan.
Heat over medium low heat, stirring every 30 seconds. Heat until mixture begins to simmer, then turn to low.
