Glaze
- While the meatballs are cooking, begin making the glaze. Heat a small saucepan on high heat. Add glaze ingredients to the pan and bring to a boil.

Notes
- Make ahead: The meatballs and sauce can be made ahead and reheated gently on the stovetop before serving.
- Adjust heat level: For milder meatballs, reduce the sriracha and add more honey; for extra spice, drizzle with additional sriracha before serving.
- Storage: Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat best over low heat.
