Hoisin Sauce Meatballs Recipe
I like to keep my pantry well-stocked with gluten-free condiments. Hoisin Sauce is one of the condiments I find very versatile. Often, I use Hoisin sauce for marinades, so I tried using it as an ingredient in meatballs. I think it works pretty well! When buying Hoisin sauce, read the label and make sure it is gluten free.
I love meatballs, they are such a great comfort food and relatively easy to make for a week-night dinner. For this meatball recipe, I recommend serving with rice or noodles (such as zoodles or rice noodles). For the gluten free bread crumbs, I like to use a piece of sandwich bread and give it a fine chop. To top these meatballs, I like to add cilantro and sriracha sauce.
I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
