MONGOLIAN MEATBALLS

Step 1

preheat oven to 400 degrees f

Step 2

Mix together all of the meatball ingredients in a large bowl until well-combined. Spoon out 1-inch of meat mixture with a cookie scoop (or tablespoon), shape into balls and place onto 2 large baking sheets or trays lined with baking or parchment paper.

Step 3

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden browned and cooked through.

Step 4

While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk ALL of the sauce ingredients together in the pan until well blended. Bring to a simmer and continue cooking until sauce thickens, while stirring occasionally to prevent burning or sticking on the bottom of the pan (about 8 minutes).

Step 6

When meatballs have finished cooking, add half of the meatballs into the pan and gently coat each meatball generously and evenly in the sauce. Transfer the glazed meatballs to a serving dish or tray with a slotted spoon and add in the remaining non-coated meatballs to the sauce. Coat and transfer to serving dish.

Step 7

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions (if desired), and serve over rice, or with toothpicks and serve on a plate as an hors d'oeuvre. Enjoy!
