Instructions

In a pan add the brown sugar, honey, ginger garlic paste, tamarind paste, chili paste or cayenne pepper powder, soy sauce, onion powder, sriracha sauce, and rice vinegar.
Heat up and mix all the sauce ingredients well.
Keep on stirring the sauce while it's reducing a bit. You can keep the sauce more liquid if you prefer. The more you reduce the sauce the more sticky it gets.
Add your meatballs to the pan and cover the meatballs generously with the sauce.
Take out all the meatballs and place on a serving tray.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the meatballs as a garnish and serve at room temperature.

Notes

I use pork and beef meatballs for these Asian meatball appetizers. You can make this recipe too with chicken or turkey meatballs if you prefer.
