No exaggeration, these Easy Asian Meatballs are amazing!!! I love making fun but sized appetizers or hors d’oeuvres and these are always a huge hit with my friends and family! The base is a pork meatball with Asian flare, seasoned with ginger, garlic, scallion, sesame oil and panic breadcrumbs. The sauce, oh. my. The sauce is so incredibly flavorful, this dish is so perfectly balanced in flavor. These are a go to party food recipe for me!
These are not only amazing as a party appetizer but you can easily turn these Easy Asian Meatballs into a meal simply be serving them over rice with a side of steamed veggies!
