Ikea Swedish Meatballs are cool but once you try our Honey Garlic Glazed Meatballs recipe, you'll never go back. These juicy and tender meatballs tossed in a sweet glaze are ideal for lunch or dinner, or as a side dish at your BBQ!
Supplies
Meatballs
- 250g/ 9oz pork mince
- 25g/ 1oz breadcrumbs
- 1 spring onion/ scallion
- 1 tsp ginger, finely grated
- 1 tsp garlic, finely grated
Glaze
- 50ml/ 3 tbsp soy
- 50ml/ 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp ginger, finely grated
- 1 tsp garlic, finely grated
- ½ tsp cornflour/cornstarch
- 1 spring onion/scallion, finely sliced
- 1 tsp sesame seeds, toasted
Steps
Meatballs
- In a medium sized bowl mix together all the meatball ingredients. Using wet hands, shape the mix into 16 equal sized balls. Shallow fry in a large saucepan with a little sesame oil until browned and cooked through.
Glaze
- Add all of the sauce ingredients apart from the cornflour to a small saucepan and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until sticky and reduced. In a small bowl, whisk the cornflower/cornstarch with 1 teaspoon cold water, then add to the pan. Simmer for a further minute - the sauce should be thicker now.
- Remove from the heat and pour over the meatballs, tossing them in the sauce to coat evenly.
- Transfer to a serving dish or bowl, then scatter over the sesame seeds and spring onion/scallion and serve with cocktail sticks or toothpicks for easy eating.
