Weeknight 30 Minute Sticky Ginger Sesame Chicken Meatballs

Way too sweet, the sauce overpowers every other flavor

Very good, easy. Takes more time to reduce the sauce though than the recipe says.

Only thing I'd change about it is maybe it would be less dry if used burger meat rather than chicken. But maybe it was just the chicken I had bought but besides that everyone liked it

Keep it in my repertoire

Really good! Added panko, olive oil, and egg like other reviewers suggested. Not too salty - don’t add salt to the meatball mixture and use low sodium soy sauce in the sauce. Roasted sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts too and was good!

This is a good weeknight meal. I used turkey. I added an egg (after reading the reviews). Everything held perfectly. I found the sauce tasty but quite strong - definitely needs to be in the same bite as the meatballs, rice, and veggies. I didnt have low sodium soy, so that could be part of it. I'd make this again.

Made with ground chicken. Definitely going to be in my meal rotation- The sauce wasn't to my taste, so I added some oyster sauce and more salt. Delicious!

If using ground turkey can cut down on cook time - meatballs were very dried out. Good with sauce but very dry without. Didn’t have hoisin sauce - so just added a little extra soy sauce and a couple spoonfuls of creamy peanut butter as a substitute. Did not use pomegranate.

Added an egg and mixed chicken with beef. Came out good but definitely need more sauce. The meatballs were a bit dry too. So I might tweak the recipe. Love the sauce tho. Also skipped the pomegranate. There was enough in the sauce.

1/4 cup panko 1 egg

Absolute dynamite! We really enjoyed this one. A pretty simple, super rich Asian inspired flavour. Will be making again (but letting the sauce reduce a bit more). Also we didn’t use pomegranate.

The recipie is great, but next time I will skip the extra pomegranate arils. There is plenty of pomegranate flavor with the sauce. The arias are just overkill.

The meatballs were good but a little bland on their own (we used turkey). The sauce thickened up nicely but it wasn't our cup of tea. The pomegranate was a bit overwhelming. It was an easy recipe and if your family is into experimenting with flavor it's worth a try. My 3 year old who isn't a big meat eater ate several meatballs just drizzled (not coated totally) in sauce and liked them a lot.
