Yield 30 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheet and rack
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
One 4-ounce can diced hot jalapeños, drained
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 large egg
1 small onion, finely chopped
One 10-ounce jar pepper jelly, preferably Tabasco Mild Jalapeño Pepper Jelly
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup bloody mary mix
1/4 cup pomegranate juice
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds

SPICY, STICKY, SWEET, ASIAN MEATBALLS RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Spicy, Sticky, Sweet, Asian Meatballs Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by á-176985

Number Of Ingredients 20

Ingredients
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp chili garlic sauce (more if you like a lot of heat)
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp fresh grated ginger*
1 1/4 lbs ground turkey
1/4 cup and 1 Tbsp diced green onions, including whites, divided
1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly whisked
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1/4 cup mushrooms, finely diced
1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger*
2 tsp chili garlic sauce
salt and pepper
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
sesame seeds for garnish
Helpful Tip: Store ginger in the freezer. When you need it, just grate with a zester right off the frozen chunk!

Steps:

  • Directions In a small saucepan, whisk together the first group of ingredients (water through grated ginger). Heat over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil, then reduce heat medium-low and simmer until reduced and thickened. While the sauce is thickening, combine the second group of ingredients (reserving one tablespoon of the green onion tops) in a medium bowl. Shape into 2-inch meatballs. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook for about 6 minutes, turning to brown all sides evenly. Reduce heat to medium and pour in the sauce. Continue to cook for 5-10 minutes, or until a meatball cut in half is fully cooked/no longer pink, and the sauce coats the meatballs. Serve hot over rice with steamed baby bok choy and sesame seeds and green onion tops for garnish. Sunny Side Up Original

Tips:

  • Choose the right meat: For the best results, use a combination of ground pork and ground beef. This will give the meatballs a juicy and flavorful texture.
  • Make sure the meatballs are cooked all the way through: To ensure that the meatballs are cooked safely, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The vegetables in this recipe add flavor and texture to the meatballs. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or bell peppers.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing can make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a light touch when forming the meatballs: Handle the meatball mixture gently to avoid making them too dense.
  • Cook the meatballs in a hot oven: This will help to create a crispy outer layer and a juicy interior.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite dipping sauce: Sweet and sour sauce, hoisin sauce, or plum sauce are all great options.

Conclusion:

These sweet and spicy Asian meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be served as a weeknight meal. With their combination of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors, these meatballs are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
