  5. Sauce: In a medium size skillet, heat 1 tsp sesame oil. Add ½ cup sliced red bell pepper and cook until the peppers begin to soften.
  6. Add rice wine vinegar, orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, sweet chili sauce, and red pepper flakes.Then, simmer sauce for 5 minutes.
  7. Mix cornstarch with water and slowly add mixture to the sauce, continuing to cook until sauce thickens. Then, remove sauce from heat.
  8. Coat each meatball in the sauce.
  9. Serve over rice or with the vegetable of choice and garnish with green onion and toasted sesame seeds.
