  6. While stirring the sauce, heat the wok over a medium flame until it thickens slightly. Next, add the fried meatballs and a splash of sesame oil, ensuring the meatballs are evenly coated with the delicious sauce.
  7. Arrange the meatballs on a serving dish and garnish with shredded spring onion.
