Ingredients

  • Meatballs
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 scallions, very finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup very finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup fine dry breadcrumb (unseasoned)
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • Sweet Soy Dipping Sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 -3 slices fresh ginger, smashed with the side of a heavy knife

Method

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • To make the meatballs: Gently mix together the meatball ingredients (hands are best for this), then form meatballs by rolling tablespoon-sized scoops between your palms.
  • Arrange on a lightly oiled or parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until well-browned and cooked through. Serve with toothpicks for dipping.
  • To make the dipping sauce: In a small pot, stir all the sauce ingredients together over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves.
  • Simmer 3 or so minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens a bit.
  • Fish out the ginger and serve in small cups for dipping.
