Tender pork (or chicken) meatballs are filled with our favorite Asian-inspired flavors and tossed with an easy hoisin glaze. Meatballs always make a great appetizer but these can be served with rice or noodles as a main dish with some steamed broccoli.
Glazed Meatballs
This recipe is easy and can be made well ahead of time. The glaze for these meatballs is a bit sweet and salty with a touch of heat! Use any combination of ground meat (although pork or turkey is our favorite). Serve as a yummy appetizer held hot in a Crockpot and let everyone help themselves!
Ingredients
SAUCE: Hoisin sauce is what makes these meatballs so good! This sauce is a Chinese sauce made from fermented soybean paste with a delicious sweet and salty flavor. It is often served with favorites like Moo Shu Chicken or seafood. It adds a wonderful flavor and can be purchased in the grocery store near the stir fry sauces or online. Hoisin is used as the base of this sauce with just a few other ingredients. MEATBALLS: Pork makes these meatballs juicy and has lots of flavor. This recipe also works with ground turkey or chicken. FLAVORS: Sesame oil and freshly grated ginger add the best flavor! Add some red pepper flakes, or minced garlic if desired.

Got Leftovers?
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For best results reheat in an air fryer, if you have one. Otherwise, on the stovetop is best, adding a little water to thin out the sauce. Meatballs can be frozen after they are fully cooled. Keep them in zippered bags with the current date labeled on the outside and they will stay fresh and tasty for up to 6 weeks. © SpendWithPennies.com. Content and photographs are copyright protected.
