Asian Zing Meatballs
Subtly sweet with a kick of heat, these Asian Zing Meatballs are easy, delicious, and the perfect weeknight dinner solution!
Equipment
- Slow Cooker (can also use skillet - directions above)
Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 lb lean ground beef (or turkey)
- 1/2 C breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/4 c red onion finely chopped
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- dash salt
Asian Zing Sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 c Asian/Stir Fry Sauce (I prefer a Gyoza Dipping sauce or General Tso's Sauce, but any Asian sauce you like will do!)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, use your hands or an electric mixer to combine all meatball ingredients. Then, roll into 1" balls with your hands.
- Whisk together the ingredients for the Asian zing sauce and pour about a third of this sauce into the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Arrange all the meatballs into the bottom of the slow cooker and pour the remaining sauce over the top of these. Carefully toss if necessary to coat each meatball!
- Cover and cook on high for 1.5-2 hours, or low for 2.5-4 hours (until the meatballs are no longer pink in the center)! Serve over a bed of Jasmine rice topped with some green onion, sesame seeds, and/or a bit more soy sauce!
