No family gathering is complete without food.
A meatball bar is perfect because it can stay warm for
hours and people can serve themselves as they please!
You can prepare the meatball bar in advance so that
once the party night rolls around, all you
have to do is set the vibe, sit back, and connect with
the people you love!
Make two or three versions of meatballs, keep them warm in
a Crock-Pot or in serving dishes set over a hot plate, and let
people come and serve themselves. Don’t forget the sides and toppings.
Yields 100 meatballs
3 pounds (1.36 kilograms) ground meat or a mix of meat and chicken
1/2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
2 eggs
3 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce or tamari sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
3 cloves garlic, minced or 3 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger or 1 cube Gefen Frozen Ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup Gefen Sesame Oil
6 cloves garlic, minced or 6 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
4 teaspoons grated ginger or 4 cubes Gefen Frozen Ginger
1 and 1/2 cups water
1 cup gluten-free soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup rice vinegar
4 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 4 teaspoons water
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
1 cup chopped scallions, for garnish
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with Gefen Parchment Paper.
Combine meatball ingredients in a large bowl. Roll into one-inch (two and 1/2-centimeter) meatballs and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
Add oil, garlic, and ginger to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook for one to two minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Add water, soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar. Stir and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for two minutes, until thick and glossy, stirring constantly.
Place the meatballs in a large pan or pot. Pour the hot glaze over the meatballs and toss gently to coat. Let simmer over low heat for five to 10 minutes so the sauce gets absorbed and the meatballs get sticky and shiny.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and scallions over the top and enjoy!
