Who doesn’t love an excellent meatball!?!? Particularly when the meatballs are smothered with a flavorful sauce. These Saucy Asian Meatballs are a break from the standard meatball recipes. The meatballs themselves are pretty normal and straightforward to organize. That is all in regards to the sauce! The marginally candy and tangy sauce has the intense taste of contemporary ginger. This sauce takes solely a handful of elements and 10 minutes to make!
Once more with my favourite ‘secret ingredient’, Musselman’s Apple Butter. The apple butter not solely brings a sweetness and depth of taste to the sauce, it additionally helps to get the proper consistency with out fussing with thickeners. Drizzle the sauce excessive of the meatballs or allow them to swim in a saucy pot. Both means these Saucy Asian Meatballs might be a success!
This makes a fantastic occasion appetizer as a result of the meatballs and sauce could be ready forward then heated earlier than serving. And, as a result of these are baked meatballs they don't require consideration whereas cooking. No have to hover over the stovetop turning meatballs for half an hour.
The chives and sesame seeds are actually so as to add a pop of coloration. Meatballs with a darkish sauce are inclined to look somewhat blah, however the garnishes actually liven them up!
