Asian Honey Sriracha Meatballs
Description
Asian Honey Sriracha Meatballs combine lean ground beef with binding ingredients such as egg and panko breadcrumbs, along with ketchup, garlic powder, and onion powder for seasoning. The meatballs are hand-formed and baked until browned and cooked through.
The accompanying sauce is a blend of sriracha, reduced-sodium soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, fresh grated ginger, and minced garlic, boiled and simmered until thickened. This sauce delivers a balance of sweet, spicy, tangy, and umami flavors that complement the savory meatballs.
Once baked, the meatballs are coated in this sticky sauce and garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for an added nutty texture and freshness. They are ideal served atop brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a satisfying meal.
Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to 5 days and can be frozen for 3 months, reheated in a microwave. Ground chicken or turkey can be substituted if preferred.
