How to Make Asian Sauced Meatballs
- Prepare your favorite meatball recipe. Shape the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
- 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.
- 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.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
- Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to the sauce and gently toss to coat.
- Serve immediately over steamed rice, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
