Lo Mein with Hoisin Meatballs image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound ground beef
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 ounces dried wide lo mein noodles
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 1/2 cups snow peas, trimmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler; line a baking sheet with foil. Mix the ground beef, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon ginger, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Form into 12 meatballs. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and broil, turning once, until browned and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs; drain and rinse under cold water. Toss with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Whisk 1/3 cup water, the oyster sauce, sesame oil, remaining 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a liquid measuring cup.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 minced garlic cloves and 2 teaspoons ginger, the scallions (reserve some of the greens for topping), cherry tomatoes and snow peas. Stir-fry until the snow peas are bright green, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the noodles and toss. Pour in the sauce mixture and toss until mostly absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes. Divide the noodle mixture and meatballs among bowls. Top with the reserved scallion greens.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Meat: For the best meatballs, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. This will give you a moist and flavorful meatball.
  • Season Wisely: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. Some popular choices include garlic, onion, ginger, soy sauce, and rice wine.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your meatballs. Use fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices whenever possible.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the meatball mixture will make the meatballs tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook Thoroughly: Make sure to cook the meatballs all the way through. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
  • Serve with a Delicious Sauce: Hoisin sauce is a classic choice for serving with meatballs, but you can also try other sauces, such as sweet and sour sauce or teriyaki sauce.

Conclusion:

Hoisin meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give hoisin meatballs a try. You won't be disappointed!
