Saucy Asian Meatballs

I should just start basing my rating system on the pickiest 4 year old known to man.   He ate these delicious meatballs and loved them.  If he liked them, everyone will like them.  I loved the flavor combination of this sauce and it was awesome.  We served ours over rice and had a side of broccoli and the family loved them!

Rating: 4 stars  Difficulty of Recipe: 3 stars
Things that I changed:  I cooked mine in the slow cooker all day and they turned out great!  I have also seen a similar recipe that put in 1/4 c BBQ sauce.  I added it in towards the end.
Things that I would do differently next time:  Nothing
Will I make it again?  Yes
Recipe From: Gimme some oven

Meatball Ingredients:
2 lbs. ground pork or ground beef
2 tsp. sesame oil
1 cup Panko or breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
2 eggs
3 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 cup thinly-sliced green onions
optional garnish: toasted sesame seeds, sliced scallions

Asian Sauce Ingredients:
2/3 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. ground ginger


In a large bowl, mix together meatball ingredients until well-combined. Shape into balls (I made mine about 1.5 inches, which yielded about 35 meatballs, but 1 inch is probably standard), and place on a greased baking sheet or in a 9x13 baking dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until meatballs are golden on the outside and no longer pink on the inside.
Preheat oven to 400.
While the meatballs are baking, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients until blended. Once meatballs have finished cooking, you can either dip each meatball individually (using a toothpick) in the sauce mixture. Or you can pour the sauce over the meatballs and gently stir them until covered.

Serve warm, and sprinkle with additional garnish if desired.
