How Do I Make Easy Teriyaki Meatballs?

Here’s the simple steps you’ll follow to make these Meatballs (scroll down for the full recipe):

 

Meatballs:

• In a large bowl combine the eggs, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder.
• Then add the ground meat, and mix well.
• Form the ground beef mixture into 1 – 1 1/2″ meatballs.
• In a large skillet, heat two Tablespoons oil over medium heat.
• Add the meatballs to the hot skillet and brown on all sides, turning with a pair of tongs.
• The meatballs do not need to be completely cooked through, just equally browned on all sides.

 

Teriyaki Sauce:

• In a medium bowl, mix the soy sauce, and 1 3/4 cups water, ginger, garlic powder, brown sugar and honey together.
• In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch into the water. Set both bowls aside.
• When the meatballs have browned, pour the sauce ingredients over the meatballs and gently turn the meatballs to coat them in the sauce.
• Heat the sauce until simmering and then add the cornstarch/water mixture, carefully mixing so as not to break apart the meatballs as you combine the cornstarch mixture with the teriyaki mixture.
• Simmer the meatballs and sauce over medium heat, maintaining a constant simmer but not cooking at too high of a boil; cook unit the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is thick and smooth.
• If the sauce becomes too thick, add a Tablespoon of water at a time to thin it down a bit.
• Boil on a low boil for about 10 – 15 minutes to make sure the meatballs are evenly cooked.
• Serve over rice or pasta.
