When craving sweet and sour with a salty chicken flavor, these meatballs are one of my favorites.
When making these I often make a double batch and freeze half of the meatballs for a quick-lunch meal of when I don’t feel like cooking a full meal. Once you taste these you’re going to wish you’d made more. They are great alone, but go great with one or two other bowls of veggies and rice.
In addition to the garlic sauce below you can add in other dipping sauces for them, such as a sweet and sour or even teriyaki sauce. Having a few dipping options make the eating of these a bit more of an event than just having them plain. You get some options to try to making two to three quick sauces while cooking these up. They really take little to no extra time, but it does mean a few more dishes to clean. In addition, having everyone use chop sticks is always a good break from routine creating a bit more of an experience, though a fork will always suffice.
Adding in cilantro on top of them before serving adds in a bit of “fresh” flavor to the meal and is perfect finishing to make them look fancy…when umm…they’re not. They are meatballs after all.
Getting the ingredients all lined up for this recipe is a great idea. Here they are in all their glory. Sauces, egg, flour, herbs, ground chicken, and veggies (if you count garlic as a veggie) maybe not, but hey the onion is a veggie.
Making the soy garlic sauce for the meatballs is quick and easy. Plus the ingredients are basically the same ones you are also using to make the meatballs. The one addition is the oyster sauce. Once you get the sugar to dissolve, it’s good to set it aside, I usually put it in the refrigerator for a few minutes to chill.
To make this meal look a little more fancy, place the meatballs in the center of the plate, drizzle some (1-2 table-spoons) of the garlic soy sauce you made over the top. Then finish off with some green, such as cilantro or below you can see I use some chopped green onion as garnish. This extra effort makes it look like some chef dressed in white made it instead of you – fancy.
So below is the recipe with all the ingredients, instructions step-by-step plus a video of me making it. If you try this recipe, let me know how it turned out. Thanks, Delicious Eric.
