Coat fingers and palms lightly with oil and scoop tablespoons of beef mixture to create equal-sized meatballs and place them on a plate.

  2. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Add meatballs, cover and cook 5 minutes. Turn meatballs over, cover pan, and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes more.

  3. Combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, water, fish sauce, and chile pepper in a bowl and serve with meatballs. Pour over meatballs or use as a dipping sauce.
