Hoisin Meatballs Recipe

hoisin_meatballs_1
These Asian flavored hoisin meatballs make a great appetizer and can also be great served as a main dish. Pork meatballs are baked and then dipped in a hoisin sauce glaze. If you would prefer the glaze to be warm you can bring it to a boil in a saucepan before serving. The glaze uses ingredients such as hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic. The meatballs get a lot of their flavor from sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.  This recipe is very easy to prepare and can be made easily made into large batches if you are serving a big crowd. Enjoy.
