Description
Juicy meatballs seasoned with soy, garlic, and a hint of brown sugar are glazed in a sticky, tangy sauce that’s bold, balanced, and utterly crave-worthy. Perfect over rice, in lettuce wraps, or skewered as appetizers.
Ingredients
Meatballs:
2 lbs ground beef
1 cup breadcrumbs
⅔ cup onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped (plus more for garnish)
2 eggs
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Glaze:
½ cup rice vinegar
4 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons liquid honey
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 tablespoon cornstarch (or flour)
4 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
In a large bowl, combine all meatball ingredients. Mix well and form into 1½-inch balls.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
While meatballs bake, make the glaze: In a saucepan, combine rice vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, and garlic. Simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water. Stir into sauce and cook until thickened.
Toss baked meatballs in glaze until well coated.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve hot.
