Ingredients
- 1 bag meatballs (frozen) (20 oz Trader Joe's frozen mini meat balls)
sauce
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 Tbsp Gochujang (add 1-2 tsp extra to make it more spicy)
- 2 Tbsp ketchup
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce (Jin Ganjang)
- 2 Tbsp garlic (chopped)
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- In a bowl, add all the sauce ingredients and mix.
Stove Top
- In a thick bottom pot, add the sauce and cook on medium heat for few minutes until it starts to bubble.
- To the pot with sauce, add all a bag of frozen meatballs. Turn the meatballs to make sure everyone is covered by the sauce. Turn heat to medium-low and then to low once it starts to bubble. Simmer for 30 minutes. Turn over meatballs 2-3 times during.
Instant Pot
- In the instant pot, add the frozen meatballs then cover with sauce. Stir until meatballs are evenly coated. Cover with a glass lid (no pressure cooking needed) and select SAUTE function and press adjust to select LESS heat. Let it simmer for 15 minutes then turn off. Select SLOW COOK function and choose MORE temperature then cook for 2 hrs. Switch to WARM setting to serve.
Slow Cooker (Crockpot)
- If using a slow cooker, you can simply add the meatballs and sauce and cook. First, stir until meatballs are evenly coated. Heat 2-3 hours on HIGH, stirring after 1 hour. Switch slow cooker to warm setting to serve.
Notes
- The reason why I don't just do simple SLOW COOK in the IP is because Instant Pot's Slow Cook temperature is lower than a regular slow cooker and these meatballs are frozen so I just want it to get a head start.
- To serve warm, use the WARM function on both the IP and the slow cooker. For stove top, use a heavy pot and it should stay warmer a bit longer.
