Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, mix all the meatball ingredients. Spoon out 1 ½ tablespoons of the mixture to form each meatball. Place all on a greased baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
  3. To make the glaze, add the sesame oil, garlic, soy sauce, water, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and pepper to a large skillet and bring to a simmer until the sauce reduces by half. This will take 4-5 minutes.
  4. Add the meatballs to the glaze and coat with the sauce.

Notes

  • You could easily swap it out for ground pork, chicken, or turkey. 
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture, as this can make the meatballs tough and dense. Instead, mix the ingredients just until they're evenly combined, then stop.
  • You can mix up the meatball mixture and shape the meatballs up to a day in advance. Just store them in the fridge on a covered baking sheet until you're ready to cook. 
  • You can also make the glaze and store it separately in the fridge, then reheat it gently on the stovetop before tossing it with the cooked meatballs.
  • To cook the meatballs in the air fryer, preheat your fryer to 400 degrees F and arrange the meatballs in a single layer in the basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the meatballs are browned and cooked through.
