We're heading into 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. :)

I like using pork in my for my meatballs, it adds more moisture. This will work great for just an anytime snack also.

ReplyDeleteYou won't believe me but i have never tried meatballs. XD
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty uncommon in Europe and Asia. ;) (that's my excuse!)
Time to dig in!
I like that you made the meatballs from scratch. Every time I have made cocktail meatball recipes, I used frozen ones and they were so yucky, I couldn't eat them. Something about the texture.
ReplyDeleteLove these and we will have them for one of our gatherings.
ReplyDeleteYay tiny meatballs! I am trying to plan a holiday party this year now that I am out of college, and these would make everyone ask for seconds (or thirds!) for sure! Love that they fit on a toothpick too for easy eat-ability heehee. D:
ReplyDeleteI know how much you love your meatballs, and these look yummy to my tummy! Perfect thing to take to a party during this holiday season!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love these meatballs. Just the right amout of everything I love!
ReplyDeleteI knew my Meatball Queen friend would have more recipes for me this fall! These glazed meatballs look phenomenal...I'd even be willing to make humongous ones for dinner :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't had an Asian meatball before. I am loving the sesame seeds.
ReplyDeleteGreat party meatballs! Love the Asian flavors!
