Cooking Instructions

  • Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Finely chop the onion and garlic. Place in a large bowl. Add ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, egg, sweet chili sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, ground ginger, and black pepper. Mix together until combined.
  • Using wet hands or a cookie scoop, portion the mixture into about 26 meatballs. Roll each between your hands to form balls. Place on baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make the glaze by combining the sweet chili sauce, ketchup, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, soy sauce, honey, and toasted sesame oil in a saucepan. Simmer until thickened, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove the meatballs from the oven and brush with the glaze.
  • Return the meatballs to the oven and bake until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes more. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

These meatballs are perfect for parties or as an appetizer. Adjust the level of sweetness to your preference by modifying the amount of sweet chili sauce used.
