These Asian-inspired meatball appetizers are easy to throw together and are a little different than all the other cocktail meatball recipes out there. You can adjust the heat level by adding more or less garlic chili sauce.
Simple and delicious. 1. Double sauce even for 1/2 amount of meatballs 2. Didn't wait one hour to add meatballs 3. Used 1 tsp ginger instead of Chinese 5 Spice Powder 4. Used Heinz chili sauce in place of chili garlic sauce 5. Cooked only 3-1/2 hours

A little to sweet for me. I will make it again with less honey and more ginger

Very good! I had some homemade mini meatballs in the freezer, so I just used those and cut the recipe down accordingly. I did only use 1/2 of the Chinese Five Spice, b/c I know it can be strong, and that was perfect for us. Also, I used a bit less Sriracha b/c I didn't want it to be too spicy for my girls. The family really enjoyed these. I think they'd be great not only as an appetizer, but as a main dish served over rice, which is how I plan on making them next time. Thanks for sharing. :)
We are making this regularly. We also like the sauce prepared simmered on the stovetop until the sugar is dissolved, then poured over oven baked popcorn chicken. Very good!
Did it as written with home made meatballs over rice then pasta. Good flavor, but the 5 spice goes a loooong way. Will cut it in half next time. Thanks for sharing!!!
Family loved it. Didn't have time for the slow cooker, made right on the stove in under 30 minutes. Made the sauce as per recipe and simmered on the stove for a few minutes prior to adding meatballs (microwaved from frozen per directions). Simmered in the sauce for another 20 minutes and served over rice with some broccoli. Simple and delicious weeknight dinner.
I love this recipe and I also agree with the suggestion to make double the sauce. I did and most of the sauce was absorbed by the meatballs. I wondered if this was going to be too spicy and it wasn't at all so will add more chili sauce to the next batch. I highly recommend this recipe if you are tired of making bbq meatballs and want something new.
I am glad I found this recipe. It is so different than other meatball flavors. The entire family enjoyed this wonderful flavor!
I made this for my New Years Eve party... it was a total hit (the only problem is I didn't make enough!! I will make 2 batches next time.
A little to sweet for me. I will make it again with less honey and more ginger
I made my meatballs from scratch and made this sauce. After my meatballs were baked and done, I added them to this sauce, simmered for about 5 minutes and it was delicious.
I made a double recipe of this for coffee hour after church on Christmas. They were a big hit! Will definitely make these again. Love the Asian flavors. A 4-lb. bag of meatballs fit fine in my 6-qt. slow cooker.
Very good!! The only thing I added was some lemon juice to cut down on the spice some. The meatballs were very juicy and yummy!! My 3yr old loves them even with some spice too.
Delicious! Easy to make and oh so decadent. I didn't have enough ketchup, so I used some Jack Daniel's bbq sauce and it came out to rave reviews at my potluck!
This was awesome! It's my go-to recipe for meatballs right now. Me and the hubby loved it! I made it exactly as written the first time and my only regret was not doubling the sauce. So that's what I did this time. I'm looking forward to dinner already and it's not even noon yet! This is a keeper. Thanks for sharing.
I’m making this right now & I just had to have a taste before serving & it’s delicious! Easy to make, & if my picky 5 year old likes it I can see it becoming a regular meal we make! Thanks for sharing!
Very good! About a couple hours in I added extra ketchup and honey because the meatballs soaked up a lot of the sauce. I put my meatballs on quinoa rice and very good!!
These were a huge hit!! With so much food made that evening, the meatballs were by far the crowd favourite!
Made 3 different styles of meatballs for a party, these were the favorite! I had to make a 40 minute trip to get the Chinese 5 spice, but it was worth it. I doubled the volume of the glaze for the bag of meatballs I used because I wanted it to cover them. I baked frozen meatballs first before tossing them in the crock pot and they were perfect. Didn't care for the brand of meatballs I used, but the sauce was AWESOME!
