Cooking Instructions
For the Meatballs:
- Combine all ingredients together and form balls. They will be wet, thats fine! Just get them to hold together. Place on a baking sheet until ready to cook.
- When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
For the Spicy Ginger-Honey Sauce:
- In a frying pan with sides, combine sesame oil, garlic and ginger and saute for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add in vinegar, honey and chili with garlic sauce and bring to a boil. Add in cornstarch and whisk until combined and thickened. Taste & adjust.
- Place meatballs in your pan, coat with sauce, garnish with cilantro leaves (if you like) and serve.
This special sauce helps add moisture and tenderness to create the perfect weekday lunch or dinner. You can serve these on butter leaf lettuce cups like we did, and even add some cilantro in there for an extra splash of spice!
