Asian Style Meatballs

This one I made for NYE. I'm going with a bit of an international theme. This one was really simple to make and is full of bold flavors!!! I made this one up looking at a few different Asian meatball recipes and kinda of took a bit from each to make these. Make these ahead of time then warm them in a pot before serving. 

Asian Style Meatballs

3/4 cup plain panko breadcrumbs

1 1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp sesame oil

For the sauce:

1/3 cup hoisin sauce

3 Tbsp soy sauce

1/2 tsp sesame oil

Oven at 375 degrees. 

Add the beef, panko, sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger, egg, scallion and water to a bowl. Mix to combine. 

   

Form into approx 1-1 1/2 inch balls. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for about 15-18 minutes until lightly golden. 

   

Add all the ingredients for the sauce to a small saucepan over medium low heat. Stir to combine and cook until warmed through. 

Toss the cooked meatballs in the sauce. Garnish with scallions.
