A wonderfully easy side dish to compliment an Asian meal. (Uses store bought meatballs.) got the idea from another recipe here, and changed it to my tastes. I made lots of sauce and after I removed the meatballs from it I used it in a stir fry, so I only used 1 bag of meatballs. I'm sure homemade meatballs would be better if you have the time. It would be so easy to just heat up the meatballs in a purchased stir fry sauce too.

Ingredients

16 serv.
  • (16 ounce) bags precooked frozen meatballs2
  • cups water3
  • cup orange juice1⁄4
  • cup honey1⁄4
  • cup honey-flavored barbecue sauce1⁄8
  • cup lemon juice1⁄8
  • cup soy sauce1⁄8
  • tablespoon sake1
  • tablespoon mirin1
  • cup sugar1⁄3 - 1⁄2
  • cup cornstarch1⁄3

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Pour all ingredients (except the meatballs) into a pot, stir well to combine. Bring to a full boil, making sure that the cornstarch is incorporated before the liquid heats up.

  2. 2

    Add the meatballs. Bring back to a simmer, reduce heat and cook until warmed through, 10-15 minutes.

  3. 3

    I let mine cook for an hour and a half over low heat, since you can't really overcook them. You just need to stir the pot occasionally to make sure the sauce doesn't stick.
