Spicy Mayo Dip
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise full fat

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet

  • Small Saucepan
  • whisk

Method
 

Prepare Meatballs
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, panko, egg, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and green onions.
  3. Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
  4. Scoop and roll the mixture into 1.5-inch balls and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and slightly browned on the outside.
Glaze and Sauce
  1. While the meat bakes, whisk the hoisin, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Simmer the glaze for 3–5 minutes until it thickens slightly, then set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.
  4. Toss the cooked meatballs in the warm BBQ glaze until every inch is perfectly coated.
  5. Serve the glazed meatballs immediately with the spicy mayo dip on the side or drizzled on top.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat the meatballs in a pan over medium-low heat with a splash of water to loosen the glaze and keep them tender.
