Form into 40 meatballs; place on large baking sheets. Bake ⏱️ 20 minutes, or just until meatballs are cooked through.

Make Sauce
6
In a saucepan off heat, combine all Sweet and Sour Sauce ingredients; whisk to ensure there is no trace of white cornstarch left, as even a tiny bit of undissolved cornstarch will cause clumps.

Whisk
8
Turn heat on to medium and continue to whisk until tomato paste is smooth and sauce is thickened.
