Notes

When I use the word “Asian” what I mean is that I am using spices and tastes from various countries in Asia as part of the bowls flavor. So I used chopped meatballs with Thai influences (kaffir leaves, sweet chili, lime). Then used tamari, sesame oil and seeds for the dish. Nothing is specific to a country but an infusion.
