Meatballs:
- Combine ground beef, egg, parsley, chopped onion, salt, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and shape the mixture into balls approximately the size of walnuts. Set them aside for later use.

Sauce:
- In a saucepan, mix together chili sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, and soy sauce.

Simmering:
