The best asian-style meatballs ever! These teriyaki meatballs are made with lean meat to keep them healthy and lower in calories and are smothered in the most delicious sweet and salty sauce ever!
Raise your hand if this is your kind of food. ME. If your hand is not raised, you’re either vegetarian or don’t enjoy the most perfect combination of sweet and salty goodness EVER. Also, I don’t think we can be friends 😉 . If you’re looking for a great weeknight or weekend dinner, I’ve got ya covered. These meatballs are made by combining lean ground beef (or you could substitute any ground meat of choice) with plenty of garlic and ginger, baking them to perfection, and smothering them in a thick and flavorful teriyaki sauce. How could you go wrong?
It actually strikes me as a bit odd that I’m still in the mood for Japanese food. After eating my way through Japan for almost two weeks, you’d think I’d be sick of it. My new green tea latte obsession and the craving for teriyaki I’ve been having all week, though, beg to differ. #cantstopwontstop Kyle and I enjoyed this for dinner tonight and we served it with some rice and balsamic roasted brussels sprouts. Perfection. The combination of yummy carbs (<3), the tangy meatballs, and the mouthwatering ‘sprouts made this Thursday night dinner extra special. I put Kyle on meatball duty and started the 5-minute teriyaki sauce, then we watched a little of the new Marco Polo series on Netflix while they got all comfy in the oven. Out came the balls and, after a quick photoshoot, we dug in. So. Good. AHHHHH.
Dinner: I whipped up those tasty thai sesame patties I mentioned before for dinner and ate them with some sautéed green beans! They have a great asian flavor and are delicious dipped in thai sweet chile sauce.
