1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger (or use a smaller amount of ground ginger)
1½ teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (more or less, to taste)
¾ cup orange marmalade
¼ cup hoisin sauce
Instructions
Meatballs:
Preheat the oven to 500ºF. Spray a mini-muffin pan (can use a baking dish) with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix together the milk and breadcrumbs; set aside a few minutes.
In a large bowl, use your hands to mix the beef, garlic, ginger, scallions, soy sauce, salt, pepper and soaked breadcrumbs.
Shape into balls - about 2 tablespoons of meat each.
Place meatballs into the prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the meatballs are fully cooked. While the meatballs are baking, make the sauce.
Sauce:
Pour sesame oil and olive oil to a small pot over medium/low heat.
Add the garlic and ginger and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the red pepper flakes, orange marmalade and hoisin sauce, stirring occasionally until sauce has thickened, about 4-5 minutes.
Remove meatballs from oven and transfer them into a large bowl.
Pour the sauce over them and toss to coat. Serve warm. Enjoy!
