Asian Meatball Cooking Tips
This Asian meatball recipe really is simple to make, but these tips will make it even easier to put your New Year’s Eve appetizers together:
- Use frozen meatballs! To make this recipe super quick and easy, use frozen meatballs. But if you prefer to make your own, simply use your favorite meatball recipe and add the sauce to the top of the meatballs.
- Mix the sauce before adding to the slow cooker! Make sure you mix up the sauce completely before adding it to the slow cooker with the meatballs to ensure all the flavors are spread throughout the dish.
- Dress them up! Meatballs can be served in a big bowl with a spoon or fork for serving, but there are a few easy ways to dress up your appetizer. Stick some decorative toothpicks or nice wooden skewers into the top of the meatballs to make them easier to eat. Or serve the slow cooker Asian meatballs with mini appetizer forks so your guests can easily grab a bite as they mingle.
