Asian Meatballs With Sesame Lime Dipping Sauce image

This recipe comes from the May 2007 issue of Gourmet magazine. This is a quick, delicious meal. Something different from the normal weeknight routine. Hope you enjoy it! Serve over steamed white rice. (One reviewer said that they substituted ground beef for the pork/veal and it turned out great that way too.)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup fine dry breadcrumb
