Next add in the egg, paprika, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, season with salt and pepper and mix well.
With slightly damp hands, make small meatballs about the size of a walnut. Dust each meatball with the flour.
Heat the olive oil in a large deep sided frying pan and cook the meatballs until browned all over. Add in the hot chicken stock, bring to boil, cover and cook, over a medium heat, for 20 minutes.
For the sauce:
Make the sauce by mixing the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Add into the pan with the meatballs and bring to a boil. Simmer gently for about 2-3 minutes, stirring from time to time.
