Hoisin Glazed Meatballs



We’re big fans of baking our meatballs (rather than frying) because that way they get nice, plump, and juicy without heaps of oil. But just to be on the safe side and make sure that this recipe is jam-packed with flavor, we’re coating them in a sweet hoisin glaze and adding snow peas for a bit of crispness and crunch. One bite and you’ll be hooked.


1 thumb
Ginger

20 ounce
Ground Beef

1 cup
Jasmine Rice

8 ounce
Snow Peas

2 tablespoon
Sesame Seeds

4 unit
Scallions

½ cup
Panko Breadcrumbs
(ContainsWheat)

4 tablespoon
Hoisin Sauce
(ContainsSoy)

1 unit
Lime

Instructions

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium pot. Peel and mince ginger until you have 2 TBSP. Finely chop scallions.

In a medium bowl, combine ginger, scallions, beef, panko, and 1 tsp sugar. Season with salt and pepper (we used 1 tsp kosher salt). Shape mixture into 1-inch meatballs, then place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake until no longer pink in center, about 20 minutes total (we’ll check on the meatballs after 15).

Once water is boiling, add rice to pot. Cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.

Once meatballs have baked 15 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Use a spoon to glaze each meatball with a little bit of hoisin sauce. Return to oven and bake until sauce has lost some of its shine, about 5 minutes.

Heat 1 TBSP oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add snow peas and cook, tossing, until tender, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Cut lime into wedges. Sprinkle meatballs with sesame seeds. Divide rice between plates and top with snow peas and meatballs. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.

Chicken Lo Mein

The secret to supremely slurpable, bouncy lo mein is thick, fresh noodles, which have a satisfying chewiness that you just can’t get with the skinny kind. That’s why our version is such a treat: you’ll be using wide udon noodles, which do an admirable job of soaking up the savory soy and hoisin sauce on each and every one of their squiggly curves. They’re tossed with green beans, carrots, mushrooms, and chicken for a bowlful of veggie- and protein-packed goodness. 12 ounce Chicken Tenders 8 ounce Udon Noodles ( Contains Wheat , Soy ) 2 clove Garlic 1 unit Vegetable Stock Concentrate 1 tablespoon Hoisin Sauce ( Contains Soy ) 4 ounce Shredded Carrots 6 ounce Green Beans 1 thumb Ginger 4 ounce Button Mushrooms 2 unit Scallions 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce ( Contains Soy ) Wash and dry all produce.
