1 pound ground meat of choice (I used Turkey, pork or beef would also be perfect)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup bread crumbs (gluten free option)
2 Tablespoons shredded carrot
2 Tablespoons green onion
2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 Tablespoon minced garli
1 Tablespoon soy sauce (or Tamari)
1/2 Tablespoon grated ginger
Fresh ground pepper to taste
~ 1 Tablespoon oil
Sauce:
1/2 cup hoisin sauce (gluten free if needed)
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 Tablespoon sriracha (or to taste)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, using your hands, gently mix all meatball ingredients except oil to combine.
Form into evenly sized meatballs.
Heat oil in large pan over medium high heat. Brown meatballs on all sized in prepared pan, then reduce heat and continue to cook until cooked through,
While meatballs are cooking combine sauce ingredients, mixing to combine. Pour into small saucepan and cook over medium heat for several minutes until thickened to form glaze.
When meatballs are done, glaze with prepared sauce. If desired place meatballs onto lightly greased cookie sheet, glaze, and place into hot oven (~350º) to make extra sticky.
