SkinnyAsia2: Vietnamese meatballs in tomato sauce (Xíu Mại)

I love a good Banh Mi and jumped at the idea of these delicious, juicy Vietnamese meatballs in tomato sauce. The savoury, umami flavours from the fish sauce with the sweet, richness of tomatoes are honestly a match made in heaven. Add some fresh chilli to taste for a little kick.
