Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (about 18 meatballs)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cups thinly sliced green cabbage (about 1/4 head)
Kosher salt
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps thinly sliced
Freshly ground white pepper
2 large eggs plus 1 egg white
1 1/2 pounds ground pork
4 scallions, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
One 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and finely grated (about 1 tablespoon)
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons Sriracha chile sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 head Boston lettuce, leaves separated

Steps:

  • Make the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Transfer the cabbage to a plate to cool. Wipe out the pan, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and the mushrooms. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to the plate with the cabbage to cool.
  • Lightly beat the eggs and egg white in a large bowl. Add the pork, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and cornstarch. Add the cabbage, mushrooms and a few grinds of pepper and mix with your hands until just combined (do not overmix). Dampen your hands and shape the meat mixture into 18 balls (about 2 inches each); arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Make the sauce: Mix the hoisin sauce, Sriracha, vinegar, sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a bowl; set aside 1/2 cup for serving. Brush the meatballs with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Bake until cooked through, 18 to 22 minutes. Serve in lettuce leaves with the reserved sauce.

ASIAN-INSPIRED PORK MEATBALLS WITH PINEAPPLE IN THE SLOW COOKER



Asian-Inspired Pork Meatballs with Pineapple in the Slow Cooker image

I'm a fan of potstickers and this pork meatball mixture makes me think of the potsticker filling. I used a small slow cooker, so you may need to adjust the liquid ingredients if yours is larger. Serve over coconut rice (I used "Easy Coconut Jasmine Rice" from Allrecipes).

Time 6h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 fresh pineapple
1 pound ground pork

½ teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons chopped green onion, or more to taste
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine ground pork, bread crumbs, egg, ginger, soy sauce, and garlic in a large bowl for the meatballs. Knead gently with your fingers to combine. Cover bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours for flavors to meld.
  • Peel pineapple and cut into 3/4-inch rings. Core rings and cut each ring into 1-inch wedges (you should have about 1 1/2 cups). Add pineapples to a slow cooker.
  • Roll pork mixture into 12 to 16 balls and place into the slow cooker.
  • Combine water, teriyaki sauce, and soy sauce in a small bowl and pour over the meatballs. It is okay for the liquid to not completely cover the meatballs.

  • Seasoning and flavoring: Generously season the pork mixture with a blend of spices like garlic, ginger, green onions, and soy sauce to infuse the meatballs with Asian-inspired flavors.
  • Pineapple incorporation: Cut the pineapple into bite-sized pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the meatballs. Additionally, reserve some pineapple juice for the slow cooker sauce to enhance the overall flavor.
