Hoisin Asian Meatballs
Description
Hoisin Asian Meatballs are made by mixing ground beef with panko breadcrumbs, toasted sesame oil, ground ginger, minced garlic, and sliced green onions, which helps keep the meatballs tender and flavorful. Baking them ensures even cooking with a nicely browned surface. The hoisin sauce complements the meatballs with its blend of hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, garlic, and ginger for a sticky, savory glaze.
The meatballs are garnished with green onion slices and sesame seeds to add a fresh and crunchy topping. They can be served as an appetizer or as part of a main dish alongside rice or steamed vegetables.
The recipe notes advise using panko breadcrumbs, a Japanese-style crumb, for the right texture. Baking at 400°F for about 12 minutes cooks the meatballs thoroughly while maintaining juiciness.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil toasted
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
