We're
in the midst of the holiday season and festive parties are sure to in
everyone's future. I thought these little Hoisin-Honey Glazed Cocktail
Meatballs would be a perfect little bite. They are quick and easy and
you can make the meatballs ahead of time and freeze them so you're ready
at anytime for unexpected guests. I love the addition of some toasted
sesame seeds because they give the perfect little crunch and "nutty"
flavor that compliments these sweet, savory and spicy little appetizers.
Ingredients:
For the meatballs:
2lbs lean ground meat **I used a combo of chicken and pork
2Tbs of ginger/garlic paste (or 1Tbs of each separately grated)
2Tbs of Soy Sauce
1 Tbs of Chinese Rice Wine (or sherry)
1 tsp of Sesame Oil
Red Chili Flakes to taste
Black Pepper to taste
minced green onions (scallions)
For the Glaze:
1/4 cup of Hoisin Sauce
1/8 of a cup of honey
2 Tbs soy sauce
Garnish:
toasted Sesame Seeds (optional)
Directions:
Mix all the meatball ingredients together and make into walnut size meatballs.
In a frying pan with some canola oik, brown meatballs until cooked through on medium heat.
Add your glaze/sauce and cook the meatballs for a few minutes.
Toast your sesame seeds in a dry pan until fragrant and sprinkle over the meatballs. Place a toothpick into each meatball and serve hot. Enjoy.
Serve hot and enjoy. Makes enough for a party. :)
