What is mirin?
Mirin is sweetened sake. Available in the Asian food section of your grocery store.
Are the meatballs homemade and raw or precooked
Precooked. Sorry I added that to the recipe. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
They look burnt on the bottom, can you rotate half way thru cooking?
I would wait a little more than halfway through the cooking process to try to turn them so you don’t break the seam on the bacon.another option might be raising the oven rack so the heat is a little further away from the bottom.
