Sticky Asian meatballs with sesame mash
Summer is the season of entertaining, and these sticky Asian meatballs are perfect for serving canape or family style. A twist on a comfort food classic!
Ingredients
- 1 pack ready made pork meatballs
- ⅓ cup hoisin sauce
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 200 g potatoes peeled and cubed
- milk & butter for mashing
- ½ tsp sesame oil
- salt and pepper
- 2 tsp sesame seeds toasted
- 1 spring onion sliced, to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C.
- Place the 10 pork meatballs onto a lined baking tray and cook in the oven for 5 minutes or until they've changed colour.
- Meanwhile, place the peeled and diced potatoes into a pot and boil until tender.
- In a small bowl, combine the hoisin, soy and rice wine vinegar. Brush one layer of the sauce mixture over the par-cooked meatballs, then place back in the oven, basting with the sauce twice every few minutes. Once cooked (about 12 minutes) remove from the oven and set aside.
- Drain the cooked potatoes, then mash with butter and milk. Gently stir in the sesame oil and sesame seeds.
- To serve, place the cooked meatballs on top of the mash, a drizzle of the leftover sauce then garnish with spring onion and sesame seeds.
- Serve as individual canapes or on a platter.
