ASIAN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper.

• Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them until they are cooked through, for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce and cornstarch. Gradually whisk in the remaining ingredients, except for the sesame oil, until well-combined.
• Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens into a rich glaze. This should take 3-5 minutes. Turn the heat off as soon as the sauce thickens but leave it on the cooling burner. Stir in the sesame oil.
