Asian Meatballs - Thermomix and Paleo

Submitted by kathleenkirbyturner

"Adapted from Nomnompaleo. The original calls for ground beef only. I decided to use half beef and half pork - it tastes Asianier. And, of course, I adapted the recipe for the Thermomix which makes all things better brighter and easier in the kitchen!"
