Sweet and Tangy Asian Meatballs

Ingredients

  •  1 (around 30 count size)bag frozen meatballs
  •  2/3 cup Hoisin sauce
  •  1/4 cup soy sauce
  •  1/4 cup rice vinegar
  •  2½ teaspoons minced garlic
  •  1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
  •  2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional garnish)
  •  fresh parshley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bake the meatballs according to package directions.
  2. While the meatballs are in the oven, prepare the sauce.
  3. In a large deep fry pan (mine is non-stick) set over medium heat, combine Hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and Sriracha sauce. Bring the mixture to a low simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Remove the meatballs from the oven. Add meatballs to pan with sauce and gently roll to coat with sauce. Let meat balls simmer in sauce on low for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to move meatballs around.
  5. For appetizer, serve garnished on a platter or bowl with toothpicks. If you have extra sauce, pour it in a bowl for dipping.
  6. For meal, serve meatballs in a bowl covered in extra sauce and garnished alongside a bowl of rice and favorite veggie.

Notes

For a party, you could keep these warm in a crockpot on low. If you’re going to do this, I would double the sauce so they don’t dry out in the slow cooker.
