SWEET-SPICY ASIAN MEATBALLS

Sweet-Spicy Asian Meatballs image

I love the sweet and spicy flavors of Chinese food and decided to try to incorporate them into a meatball. The subtle tastes of the meatball blend well with the spicy Sriracha and sweet chili sauce. The garam masala adds a hint of coriander, black pepper and cinnamon for a unique and fun flavor. -Darlene Buerger, Peoria, Arizona

MEATBALLS IN A SWEET 'N SPICY ASIAN SAUCE WITH WARM ASIAN SLAW

Meatballs in a Sweet 'n Spicy Asian Sauce With Warm Asian Slaw image

This is a great way to take a classic meatball and make it a little modern with an Asian sauce instead.....trust me......everyone will love them! I made yet, another batch of my quick and delicious Nana's Meatballs. I love making a recipe that I can use in different ways. I used half of the meatballs to have with a traditional red sauce over pasta and the other half with the Asian Sauce. I had two totally different dishes. I like serving the Spicy Asian Meatballs as an appetizer on top of a bed of this delicious Warm Asian Slaw. The next time you want to make meatballs, surprise your family and friends with a little something different. Enjoy!
