Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 14

FOR THE MEATBALLS
1 lb ground turkey, beef or chicken
2 Tbsp minced ginger
1/4 c scallions, chopped
1 tsp fresh garlic, minced
light flavored oil for frying (olive, grapeseed, etc)
FOR THE SAUCE
1 tsp sesame oil
3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
3 Tbsp soy sauce
1/4 c water
3 Tbsp honey, pure maple syrup or sugar
1/4 c scallions, chopped
4 small dried chilies, seeded and chopped

Steps:

  • 1. To make the meatballs: Combine all of the meatball ingredients and mix thoroughly. Form into 16 balls and saute/fry in oil over medium heat until cooked through and crispy. Alternatively you could bake them but they won't get the crunchy exterior.
  • 2. To make the sauce: Combine the sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, water, honey in a small saucepan and whisk until combined. Add the scallions and chili pepper and bring to a boil. Simmer for five minutes until thickened and remove from heat.
  • 3. To serve: Add the cooked meatballs to the thickened sauce and stir to coat. Garnish with more chopped scallions and chilis, serve with Basmatic rice if desired.
