Spicy Asian Ginger Meatballs

  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 40 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

Scale

For the meatballs:

  • 6 cloves of garlic, peeled
  • 1 small onion, peeled
  • 18 oz. can of water chestnuts, drained
  • 1 lb. lean ground beef or venison (I used venison)
  • 1 lb. lean ground pork
  • 2 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 cup finely shredded carrots

For the sauce:

  • 2/3 cup hoisin sauce (you can use bottled hoisin or make your own … )
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tblsp. soy sauce
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1 tsp. fresh ground ginger
  • 1/3 cup Thai Chili Sauce

Instructions

  1. To make the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 400° F. In a handi chopper or food processor, process the garlic, water chestnuts and onion into fine bits.
  2. Mix with the remaining ingredients till well blended. Form into 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for about 15-20 minutes, until done.
  3. While the meatballs are cooking, make the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the sauce. Either set the meatballs in a saucepan or crockpot and pour the sauce over the meatballs. In the crockpot, cook at low heat for 6 hours. In a saucepan on medium (or medium low) heat just heat it all until everything is heated, about 20 minutes.

Notes

40 minute cook time is for stovetop cooking … if you use a crockpot, adjust accordingly because you’ll want to cook the meatballs for about 6 hours on low.
