These tasty meatballs are smothered in a sticky Asian glaze and are perfect for game day appetizers and parties! They’re so simple and quick to make, taste absolutely divine, and will likely become a family favorite as soon as you make them.

The meatballs are made with ground beef, breadcrumbs, an egg, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil while the glaze is made of ginger, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and sriracha, forming one unforgettable appetizer or main dish that everyone will love! Optional garnishes include sesame seeds and chives and are highly recommended for the best taste.

Low Carb Options

If you’re on a low carb or keto diet, you can omit the breadcrumbs and serve it over riced cauliflower, zoodles, or a salad for a low carb meal.

Can I make this as an appetizer?

Yes, you can; I recommend doubling the recipe if you’re planning on making the meatballs as an appetizer.
