Teriyaki Meatballs

It’s meatball time again.

I am in love with meatballs and I’ve just added a new favorite, Teriyaki Meatballs!

These are some of the most flavorful meatballs I’ve ever eaten and made.

It’s like eating the perfect batch of Asian takeout food, without having to leave the house.

Did I mention I am a professional Asian Take-Out food maker!

Yep, being allergic to MSG and loving Asian food is the reason I decided that I would become a Asian food cooking mama.

The first step on my journey was to ask my local take-out person what they put into their dishes.

One wood be surprised how helpful people are when you show interest in their cultural cooking.

Secondly, hit up the grocery store and check out your Asian food aisle.

You need to see what products are available and then you need to figure out how you’re going to use the products that match your cooking style.

You could also read cookbooks to help you decipher that you might not want to use a whole pack of wasabi in a dish.

Yes, I learned the hard way, it’s hot!

Lastly, you have to cook folks.

I believe one of the most important lessons I’ve learned in my Asian cooking mission is to make sure I have something sweet and spicy in my dishes.

I need balance and if the dish is spicy I make something like a cooling cucumber salad or slaw to serve on the side to balance out the heat.

I also like to serve a nice tea with dishes like a bubble tea, which is my daughters favorite Asian drink.

Bubble Tea is tapioca pearls often with crushed fruit and tea.

You can make it as sweet as you like, I think that’s why my daughter is in love with them!

Bubble tea also cools off your mouth if you’re eating a spicy Asian dish.

Enjoy!
