Easy Spicy Sticky Glazed Asian Meatballs

I am so excited about this Easy Spicy Sticky Glazed Asian Meatballs recipe.

This recipe was actually an accident. My husband bought a huge pack of ground beef to make bolognese sauce last week, and after a few days, we had a pound of ground beef that I didn't want to go to waste.

So I made these meatballs, and man, they were good.

You all know I'm a meatball lover - you can find my ode to meatballs with my family's classic meatball recipe here.

I'm normally a meatball purist, but I think after this recipe, I'll be more open to changing up meatballs a bit more.

About the Recipe

I wanted something spicy - so instead of traditionally using eggs to hold the meatballs together, I opted for sriracha. I am a sriracha purist - I only buy the Huy Fond brand! Did you know you can buy it on Amazon? Check it out here.

This, with the help of spices, gave the meatballs a delicious flavor.

After I rolled the meatballs up, I got my cast iron skillet nice and hot and added some oil.

I sizzled the meatballs in the skillet, making sure all sides were brown and had a delicious crust to them.

Next, I needed a sauce.

I combined soy sauce, more sriracha, sweet sand sour sauce, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce in a small pot and warmed it up.

When the meatballs were done, I glazed them with the sauce, and served over brown rice and greens.

It was SO good. There's loads of flavor. It's spicy, but there's not too much heat.

This one is a good one, and you guys are going to want to try it. Check out the recipe below, and make sure to leave a review and comment if you make it!
