Instructions

Creating Sticky Mongolian Meatballs & Broccoli is a fulfilling process that promises delightful results. Follow these steps to prepare this dish:

  1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Mix Meatball Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef or turkey, breadcrumbs, green onions, egg, soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake Meatballs: Bake meatballs in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until cooked through and lightly browned.
  5. Make the Sauce: While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  6. Thicken the Sauce: Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  7. Cook Broccoli: In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add broccoli florets, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sauté until tender and bright green, about 4-5 minutes.
  8. Combine: Once meatballs are cooked, add them to the skillet with the thickened sauce. Toss to coat the meatballs evenly.
  9. Serve: Place the sautéed broccoli on a serving plate and top it with the sticky Mongolian meatballs. Garnish with additional green onions if desired.
