We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 400F.

  • Step 2: In a large bowl combine all the ingredients for the meatballs, using your hands works best.

  • Step 3: Wetting your hands makes forming the mixture into bite-size meatballs easier as it will not stick; form meatballs about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.

  • Step 4: Place meatballs on a non-stick baking sheet.

  • Step 5: Bake in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until cooked through; stirring meatballs once, halfway through cooking time, to brown sides.

  • Step 6: While meatballs are cooking, prepare glaze.

  • Step 7: In a 10 inch deep non-stick skillet, whisk together all glaze ingredients.

  • Step 8: Cook over medium-high heat until mixture is hot and bubbly and jam has melted.

  • Step 9: Add cooked meatballs and mix gently, ensuring every meatball is coated with sauce.

  • Step 10: Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if using.

  • Step 11: Serve hot.
