Chinese Spaghetti and Meatballs
I've barely put away the leftovers from today's Chinese Spaghetti and Meatballs, and I already find myself craving more. Tender pork meatballs are studded with soy sauce, green onions, and carrot, baked, and tossed with easy soy noodles. Such a fun twist on Spaghetti and meatballs .

Ingredients
- 1/2 lb ground pork
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tbsp + 1 tsp soy sauce, divided
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce, divided
- 2 tbsp + 1 tsp sesame oil, divided
- 5 large garlic cloves, divided
- 4 green onions, sliced and divided
- 3 tsp sesame seeds, divided
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 3/4 cup julienned carrots
- 3/4 cup thinly sliced onion
- 12 oz soba noodles
- 3 tsp rice vinegar
- 1/2-3/4 cup chicken stock
- 2-3 tsp Sriracha Optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add pork, breadcrumbs, egg yolk, 1 tablespoon hoisin, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, ground ginger, 1 tablespoon sliced green onion, 1 teaspoon sesame seeds and 2 grated garlic cloves (grated on a microplane) to a medium bowl. Gently mix everything until combined. Use a small ice cream scoop to form the meat into 15 meatballs. Line up on baking sheet and bake until cooked through, about 12-15 minutes.
- In another small bowl, whisk remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 3 tablespoons hoisin, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, rice vinegar and 1/2 cup chicken stock together.
- Bring a large stock pot to a rolling boil. Season with salt. Cook soba noodles according to package directions. Drain.
- While noodles cook, heat a large non-stick skillet, to a medium heat. Add remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Once the oil is hot, add carrots and onion. Sauté until carrots are slightly softened and onions are translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add remaining garlic, cook another minute.
- Add cooked soba noodles and sauce. Toss until the noodles have soaked up the sauce. If necessary, use a little bit more chicken stock to loosen the sauce up. Add sriracha if you want some spice! Add remaining green onion and sesame seeds, toss one more time.
- Transfer to serving dish and place meatballs on top. Garnish with more green onion and sesame seeds if desired.
