Equipment

  • oven
  • large bowl
  • non-stick skillet
  • cookie scoop
  • baking sheets
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Meatballs

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • ½ pound ground sausage
  • ¾ cup Panko or plain breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1 cup chopped green onions
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Mongolian sauce

  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tablespoon minced ginger
  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • ½ tablespoon red chili powder

Garnish

  • sesame seeds
  • 1 green onion, finely sliced

Instructions
 

Meatballs

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, mix together all of the meatball ingredients until well-combined.
  • Spoon the meat mixture with a one tablespoon cookie scoop, shape it into balls, and arrange onto 2 large baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Sauce

  • Place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add all the sauce ingredients to the pan and stir until well blended. Bring to a simmer and continue cooking until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes.

Coat

  • When the meatballs have finished cooking, add half of them into the pan with the sauce and gently coat each meatball in the sauce.
  • Transfer the glazed meatballs to a serving dish and repeat with the remaining ones.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, and serve with toothpicks or mini forks.

Notes

Let the sauce simmer a little longer before adding the meatballs for better thickness and flavor.
