Best Asian Meatballs With Snow Peas Recipes

ASIAN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper.
• Place the meatball ingredients in a medium bowl and use your hands to combine them. Shape into 24 meatballs, each weighing about 20 grams.
• Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them until they are cooked through, for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce and cornstarch. Gradually whisk in the remaining ingredients, except for the sesame oil, until well-combined.
• Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens into a rich glaze. This should take 3-5 minutes. Turn the heat off as soon as the sauce thickens but leave it on the cooling burner. Stir in the sesame oil.
• Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the baked meatballs into the saucepan. Gently turn them in the sauce until well-coated. Serve immediately.

SWEET AND SOUR ASIAN MEATBALLS WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place the ground beef in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the milk, egg, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger oil, salt, pepper, 5 spice powder, and garlic. Whisk to combine. Add mixture to the ground beef. Stir to combine.
• Add the carrot, mushroom, cilantro, parsley, green onion, and panko breadcrumbs to the meat mixture. Mix until combined. I find that hands work best for this. Form into golf ball sized portions and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. I like to use a Medium Cookie Scoop to ensure the balls are all evenly sized.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the insides are no longer pink and a thermometer registers 160 degrees F when inserted in the center of a meatball. Serve with sauce, vegetables, and brown jasmine rice.
• Combine the pineapple juice, ketchup, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, ginger oil, brown sugar, and cornstarch in a medium to large skillet. Cook until boiling, then reduce to a simmer. Add the meatballs, snow peas, bell pepper, and water chestnuts. Cook until the sauce coats the meatballs and the vegetables are tender.
• Serve with brown jasmine rice and a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top.

ASIAN BEEF WITH SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice wine, brown sugar and cornstarch. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium high heat. Stir-fry ginger and garlic for 30 seconds. Add the steak and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until evenly browned. Add the snow peas and stir-fry for an additional 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce mixture, bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Lower heat and simmer until the sauce is thick and smooth. Serve immediately.

ASIAN MEATBALLS WITH SESAME LIME DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 500°F.
• Pour milk over bread crumbs in a large bowl and stir until liquid is absorbed. Add ground meat, egg, water chestnuts, salt, chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 2 teaspoons oil and mix with your hands until combined well. Shape 3 tablespoons meat mixture into a ball and transfer to a 13- by 9-inch glass baking dish. Make more meatballs with remaining mixture, arranging meatballs about 1/2 inch apart in baking dish. Bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir together lime juice, water, sugar, remaining 4 tablespoons soy sauce, and remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a bowl until sugar is dissolved.
• Transfer meatballs to a serving dish. Stir sauce, then drizzle meatballs with 1 tablespoon sauce and sprinkle with cilantro sprigs.
• Serve meatballs with remaining sauce.

HOISIN-GLAZED MEATBALLS WITH JASMINE RICE AND SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• Wash and dry all produce. Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring 2 cups salted water to a boil in a medium pot. Lightly oil a baking sheet. Peel ginger, then mince until you have 1 TBSP. Trim, then thinly slice scallions, keeping greens and whites separate. Trim any tough ends or strings from snow peas.
• Combine minced ginger, scallion whites, beef, panko, garlic powder, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 egg in a medium bowl (use other egg as you like). Season with salt and pepper (we used 1 tsp kosher salt). Form into 1-inch balls and place on oiled baking sheet. Bake in oven until no longer pink on outside, about 10 minutes.
• Once water is boiling, add rice to pot. Cover, lower heat, and reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
• After meatballs have cooked 10 minutes, remove baking 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, then top with snow peas and meatballs. Garnish with scallion greens. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.

ASIAN NOODLE BOWLS WITH STEAK AND SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• In a pot of boiling salted water, cook noodles until al dente. Drain; set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Season steak with salt and pepper. Cook (in batches if necessary), turning once, until medium-rare, 2 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer steak to a cutting board, and loosely tent with aluminum foil (reserve skillet with juices).
