Saucy Asian Meatballs

These saucy Asian meatballs are some of my favorites!!!
I first made them a few months ago when I was experimenting with multiple meatball recipes to serve for a fundraiser. And when my friends graciously “helped me out” with some taste testing, these little guys were the clear winner! My friend’s 1-yr-old son was even crazy about them as well. ;)
Definitely easy, quick, and bursting with yummy flavor. And everyone commented on how they’re a nice twist from traditional marinara meatballs. Give them a try!
INGREDIENTS
- Meatball Ingredients:
- 2 lbs Ground beef or Ground Pork
- 2 teaspoons Sesame Oil
- 1 cup Panko or Breadcrumbs; or Breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon Ginger; Ground
- 2 Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Garlic; Minced
- 1/2 cup Green Onions; Thinly Sliced
- Asian Sauce Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup Hoisin Sauce
- 1/4 cup Rice Vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic; Minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 1 teaspoon Ginger; Ground
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 400(F).
In a large bowl, mix together meatball ingredients until well-combined. Shape into balls (I made mine about 1.5 inches, which yielded about 35 meatballs, but 1 inch is probably standard), and place on a greased baking sheet or in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until meatballs are golden on the outside and no longer pink on the inside.
While the meatballs are baking, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients until blended. Once meatballs have finished cooking, you can either dip each meatball individually (using a toothpick) in the sauce mixture. Or you can pour the sauce over the meatballs and gently stir them until covered.
Serve warm, and sprinkle with additional garnish if desired. (Serve on cocktail forks.)
