Preparation

1. Saucy Asian Meatballs
2. Ingredients
3. 2 lbs. ground pork or ground beef
4. 2 tsp. sesame oil
5. 1 cup Panko or breadcrumbs
6. 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
7. 2 eggs
8. 3 tsp. minced garlic
9. 1/2 cup thinly-sliced green onions
10. optional garnish: toasted sesame seeds, sliced scallions
11. 2/3 cup hoisin sauce
12. 1/4 cup rice vinegar
13. 2 garlic cloves, minced
14. 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
15. 1 tsp. sesame oil
16. 1 tsp. ground ginger
17. Method
18. Preheat oven to 400.
19. In a large bowl, mix together meatball ingredients until well-combined. Shape into balls (I made mine
20. about 1.5 inches, which yielded about 35 meatballs, but 1 inch is probably standard), and place on a
21. greased baking sheet or in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until meatballs are
22. golden on the outside and no longer pink on the inside.
23. While the meatballs are baking, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients until blended. Once
24. meatballs have finished cooking, you can either dip each meatball individually (using a toothpick) in
25. the sauce mixture. Or you can pour the sauce over the meatballs and gently stir them until covered.
26. Serve warm, and sprinkle with additional garnish if desired. (I served mine on these cocktail forks.)
