Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (about 18 meatballs)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cups thinly sliced green cabbage (about 1/4 head)
Kosher salt
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps thinly sliced
Freshly ground white pepper
2 large eggs plus 1 egg white
1 1/2 pounds ground pork
4 scallions, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
One 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and finely grated (about 1 tablespoon)
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons Sriracha chile sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 head Boston lettuce, leaves separated

Steps:

  • Make the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Transfer the cabbage to a plate to cool. Wipe out the pan, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and the mushrooms. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to the plate with the cabbage to cool.
  • Lightly beat the eggs and egg white in a large bowl. Add the pork, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and cornstarch. Add the cabbage, mushrooms and a few grinds of pepper and mix with your hands until just combined (do not overmix). Dampen your hands and shape the meat mixture into 18 balls (about 2 inches each); arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Make the sauce: Mix the hoisin sauce, Sriracha, vinegar, sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a bowl; set aside 1/2 cup for serving. Brush the meatballs with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Bake until cooked through, 18 to 22 minutes. Serve in lettuce leaves with the reserved sauce.

Provided by Alyssa Rivers

Categories     Appetizer     Dinner     Main Course

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds ground pork or ground beef
2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 cup Panko or breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 large eggs
3 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 Cup thinly-sliced green onions
Optional garnish: toasted sesame seeds, sliced scallions
2/3 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • In a large bowl, mix together meatball ingredients until well-combined. Shape into balls (I made mine about 1.5 inches, which yielded about 35 meatballs, but 1 inch is probably standard), and place on a greased baking sheet or in a 9×13 baking dish.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until meatballs are golden on the outside and no longer pink on the inside.
  • While the meatballs are baking, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients until blended. Once meatballs have finished cooking, you can either dip each meatball individually (using a toothpick) in the sauce mixture. Or you can pour the sauce over the meatballs and gently stir them until covered.
  • Serve warm, and sprinkle with additional garnish if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of ground meats. This recipe calls for ground pork, but you can also use ground chicken, turkey, or beef. If using a leaner meat, add a little extra oil to the pan when browning the meatballs.
  • Make sure the meatballs are browned before adding them to the slow cooker. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Use fresh pineapple. Canned pineapple can be used in a pinch, but fresh pineapple will give the dish a much better flavor.
  • Add some heat. If you like spicy food, add a teaspoon or two of red pepper flakes to the slow cooker. You can also add a chopped jalapeño pepper.
  • Serve over rice or noodles. This dish is delicious served over rice or noodles. You can also serve it with a side of steamed vegetables.
