Ingredients
  

  • For the Meatballs:
  • 1 lb ground beef or chicken
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp green onions chopped (optional)
  • For the Sriracha Glaze:
  • ¼ cup Sriracha sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water optional, for thickening

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl For combining meatball ingredients
  • 1 Baking sheet or skillet For cooking meatballs
  • 1 Saucepan To make Sriracha glaze

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground meat, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and green onions. Mix just until combined.
  3. Form into 1-inch meatballs and place on a baking sheet (or sear in batches in a skillet).
  4. Bake for 15-18 minutes or cook in skillet until browned and cooked through.
  5. Meanwhile, combine Sriracha, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic in a saucepan. Simmer 3-4 minutes.
  6. Optional: Mix cornstarch and water, stir into sauce, and cook until slightly thickened.
  7. Toss cooked meatballs in the sauce until well coated.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped scallions. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or plant-based meat for a variation.
  • Sauce can be doubled if serving with noodles or rice.
  • Adjust Sriracha to taste, more for fire-lovers, less for a milder glaze.
