How to do it:

The meatballs. Heat the oven to 150 C or 302 F. Mix everything for the meatballs, shape the balls by hand. Fry them in a pan so they get a light brown finish on the surface, sprinkle your sesame seeds into the pan. Put the pan into the oven and let them finish inside the oven.

The Sauce.  Boil the water and brown sugar carefully. Add the peanuts and let it boil a couple of minutes. Meanwhile, add all the other ingredients into a mixer or blender, and add the sugar-water when its ready. Mix everything properly. Taste the sauce to see if you want to add more of everything.

The salad: Shred and/or cut everything in preferable sizes. If you want you can mix in a little bit of the sauce with the salad or leave it plain.
