I love meatballs but most traditional recipes leave me somewhat unsatisfied. I need bold flavors and these Asian-inspired meatballs deliver. A delicious mix of sesame oil, oyster and soy sauce turns these unassuming meatballs into the star of your next dinner party.
Meatballs are a true go-to recipe for me because they’re so versatile and easy to prepare. If you’re not baking them right away, just freeze and save for a rainy day…or a snowy day, if you live on the East Coast! I prefer baking the meatballs because there’s no mess to clean up afterwards. Serve them warm with steamed white rice and bok choy greens or on their own as an appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce.
