Reheat the same pan (from step 1) over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then meatballs. Cook, turning meatballs often, until browned all over and cooked through, 6-8 min.** Add sweet and sour sauce, brown sugar and remaining soy sauce to the pan.Toss meatballs gently, until glaze thickens slightly and meatballs are coated, 1-2 min. Remove from heat.
Transfer meatballs to a serving plate. Spoon any remaining glaze from the pan over top. Sprinkle green onions and sesame seeds over top.
