How to Make Asian Inspired Meatballs And Spaghetti
- **Prepare the Sauce:** In a saucepan over low heat, combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/4 cup dry white wine, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce.
- Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, about 2 minutes.
- Add 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger and 1 teaspoon sriracha (or more, to taste).
- Simmer over very low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- **Make the Meatballs:** In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground pork, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons sesame seeds.
- Gently mix with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
- **Brown the Meatballs:** Heat 1/4 inch of safflower oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the meatballs in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes total.
- Remove meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- **Simmer Meatballs in Sauce:** Wipe out excess oil from the skillet. Return the meatballs to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the meatballs.
- Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- **Cook the Noodles:** While the meatballs simmer, cook soba noodles according to package directions.
- Drain the noodles and toss with 1 teaspoon of safflower oil to prevent sticking.
- **Combine and Serve:** Add the browned meatballs to the noodles. If the sauce is too thin, increase the heat and simmer for a few minutes to thicken.
- Gently toss to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
