Helpful hints

• Reduced sodium soy sauce contains 500 to 600 mg sodium per tablespoon compared to 950 to 1050 mg sodium in regular soy sauce. Limit to the amount specified in the recipe.
• Make meatballs ahead and refrigerate. When ready to serve, heat ingredients together and transfer to a warming dish.
