How to Make Asian Sauced Meatballs

  1. Prepare your favorite meatball recipe. Shape the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake meatballs for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through, or pan-fry in a tablespoon of oil until browned on all sides and cooked through.
  3. While the meatballs cook, prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  5. Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to the sauce and gently toss to coat.
  6. Serve immediately over steamed rice, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions (optional).
