Print Recipe

Savory Mongolian Meatballs simmered in a rich, sweet soy-based sauce, perfect for a flavorful appetizer or main dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, minced garlic, grated ginger, green onions, breadcrumbs, egg, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Mix until well combined.
  2. Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, and water.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture over the meatballs in the skillet. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the meatballs.
  6. Garnish with sesame seeds and additional chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For extra spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Serve Mongolian Meatballs over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
