- Heat the olive oil in a large lidded skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and let them start to cook.
- Add 2 tablespoons of water (it will sizzle), cover and cook for a few minutes. Uncover, flip the meatballs and repeat.
- Cook for about 10 minutes in total, until the meatballs are cooked through, tender and golden brown.
- Warm the bread until soft. Spread mayo over it, top with the meatballs, sliced cucumber, sliced shallot, cilantro and mint, and drizzle with chili crisp or sriracha.
