Ingredients
  

For the Meatballs
  • 1 lb Ground Beef Use lean ground beef for healthier meatballs.
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs Regular breadcrumbs can substitute if needed.

  • 3 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce Essential for the sticky glaze.
For the Glaze
  • 2 tbsp Hoisin Sauce Double it for a thicker coating.
  • 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce Substitute with an extra tablespoon of hoisin sauce if shellfish is avoided.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced.
  • 1 tbsp Ginger Freshly minced or paste.
  • 2 tbsp Water For thinning glaze if needed.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, egg, minced garlic, minced ginger, and low sodium soy sauce. Blend mixture until well incorporated, taking care not to overmix.
  2. Shape the meat mixture into 2-inch meatballs and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add oil, and carefully place the meatballs in a single layer. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until they brown evenly.
  4. While the meatballs are cooking, whisk together the hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, and water in a bowl to prepare the glaze.
  5. After the meatballs are cooked, pour the glaze over them in the skillet. Stir gently to coat each meatball, simmer for about 5 minutes until sauce thickens.
