🍯 Honey Garlic Pork Meatball Skewers
Ingredients (makes ~20 meatballs / 5–6 skewers):
For the Meatballs:
- 1 lb ground pork
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
For the Honey Garlic Glaze:
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 2–3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger (optional but 🔥)
- 1 tbsp water + 1 tsp cornstarch (slurry to thicken)
Extras:
- Skewers (if wooden, soak for 30 mins)
- Sesame seeds
- Extra green onions, chopped
Instructions:
- Make the Meatballs:
- Mix all meatball ingredients in a bowl until just combined.
- Roll into ~1-inch balls (wet hands help prevent sticking).
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 mins, or pan-fry until golden and cooked through.
- Make the Glaze:
- In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and ginger.
- Simmer for 3–4 minutes. Add cornstarch slurry and stir until thickened.
- Taste and adjust — more honey for sweet, vinegar for tang, soy for depth.
- Assemble the Skewers:
- Thread 3–4 meatballs per skewer.
- Brush generously with glaze.
- Finish with Fire (Optional but Amazing):
- Grill for 2–3 minutes per side or broil for 1–2 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
- Brush with more glaze right before serving.
💡 Garnish + Serve:
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
- Serve with rice, noodles, or lettuce wraps.
- Want heat? Drizzle with sriracha or chili crisp.
