Ingredients:
Meatballs
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger root
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger root
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place the meatball ingredients in a medium bowl and use your hands to combine them. Shape into 24 meatballs. Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sauce ingredients, until well-combined. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens into a rich glaze. This should take 3-5 minutes. Turn the heat off as soon as the sauce thickens but leave it on the cooling burner. Stir in the sesame oil.
4. Transfer the baked meatballs into the saucepan. Gently turn them in the sauce until well-coated. Serve immediately.
*Meatballs were served with rice noodles and fresh cilantro.
