I think you should add some lettuce leaves, for Vietnamese people absolutely love their salads.

Serving size must be wrong. Perhaps 85 cal per meatball? 1.5 lbs of ground beef is 1445 cal alone.

That’s right, it’s 85 calories per meatball (one meatball is considered one serving here), thanks for pointing this out!
