Asian Meatballs
These Asian Meatballs are an Asian inspired easy recipe. These meatballs are baked in the oven and tossed in a honey soy sauce mixture.
Ingredients
MEATBALLS:
- 1 lb ground turkey, (ground chicken can be used too)
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
SAUCE:
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
(OPTIONAL) sliced green onions and sesame seeds for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking dish with parchment paper or grease it.
- Mix ground turkey and remaining meatball ingredients with your hands until combined well. Mixture will be wet. Scoop balls of meatball mixture (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each) and place on baking sheet. It helps to use a cookie scoop here. Bake until cooked through, about 18-20 minutes.
- While meatballs are baking make the sauce: In a small pot, whisk together the soy sauce, water, and cornstarch. Add the other sauce ingredients and turn the heat on and up to medium heat. Cook for a few minutes until mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
- Transfer meatballs to a large bowl. Toss meatballs with sauce and garnish with more green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
