Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 14

FOR THE MEATBALLS
1 lb ground turkey, beef or chicken
2 Tbsp minced ginger
1/4 c scallions, chopped
1 tsp fresh garlic, minced
light flavored oil for frying (olive, grapeseed, etc)
FOR THE SAUCE
1 tsp sesame oil
3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
3 Tbsp soy sauce
1/4 c water
3 Tbsp honey, pure maple syrup or sugar
1/4 c scallions, chopped
4 small dried chilies, seeded and chopped

Steps:

  • 1. To make the meatballs: Combine all of the meatball ingredients and mix thoroughly. Form into 16 balls and saute/fry in oil over medium heat until cooked through and crispy. Alternatively you could bake them but they won't get the crunchy exterior.
  • 2. To make the sauce: Combine the sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, water, honey in a small saucepan and whisk until combined. Add the scallions and chili pepper and bring to a boil. Simmer for five minutes until thickened and remove from heat.
  • 3. To serve: Add the cooked meatballs to the thickened sauce and stir to coat. Garnish with more chopped scallions and chilis, serve with Basmatic rice if desired.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but these meatballs were a disaster. They were dry, tough, and flavorless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my meatballs didn't turn out as good as I hoped. They were a little dry.

These meatballs were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less chili sauce.

I love General Tso's chicken, so I was excited to try these meatballs. They didn't disappoint! They were just as good as the chicken.

I'm not a huge fan of General Tso's chicken, but these meatballs were amazing! The sauce was so good I could have eaten it with a spoon.

These meatballs were so flavorful and juicy! The sauce was perfect - sweet, sour, and a little spicy. I will definitely be making these again.

This was a delicious and easy weeknight meal! I used ground turkey instead of pork and it turned out great. Definitely a keeper!
