2 tablespoons char siu sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce
2/3 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro

2 teaspoons fish sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper or 1 teaspoon green pepper

Put the skewers into water to soak.
This helps prevent them burning.

This is the glazing sauce.
Combine all the remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
The best way is to use your hands.
Roll mixture into 18 meatballs.
About a rounded tablespoon mixture each.
Thread 3 meatballs onto each skewer.
If you like you can add slices of red or green pepper between meatballs.
Plce them on a baking sheet.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.
Remove skewers and brush meatballs with the glaze all over.
Turn on the broiler.
Place skewers under the broiler and cook for about 2 minutes each side.
Serve.
These could also be prepared ahead up to the broiler part and then barbequed.
