    Try my spicy Hunan Chicken Wings for another great Asian-inspired appetizer! Or enjoy my spicy, smoky, delicious Hunan Beef for dinner!!

    One of my go-to recipes for potlucks and parties because these Asian-inspired meatballs are just so easy to make! Combine that with how very popular they are, and you have a winning appetizer for any entertaining, parties, or gatherings!

    If you need to be even more hands free than this easy recipe allows, make the meatballs and sauce ahead of time then refrigerate both until ready to heat and serve!

    How To Make Chinese Beef Meatballs

    To get started you will need ground beef, Panko, garlic, sesame oil, ground ginger, an egg, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and any garnish desired ( I used sesame seeds and sliced green onions ). You may also want to scale the recipe up or down, depending on how many people you are serving and the size that your meatballs will be.

    While making the meatballs and sauce, preheat your oven to 400 ºF ( 205 ºC ) and grease your baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

    For the Chinese Beef Meatballs, combine beef, Panko, garlic, sesame seed oil, ground ginger, and egg in a medium to a large mixing bowl. Make sure that the ingredients are thoroughly combined, then shape into 1" round balls and place them on your baking sheet.

    Place in the oven and bake the meatballs for 10 minutes or until the outside is browned and the inside is no longer pink. The internal temperature of your beef meatballs should be 160 ºF ( 71.1 ºC ) as read by a digital meat thermometer, per foodsafety.gov guidelines.

    Make the Hoisin Ginger Sauce

    Combine the Hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame seed oil, and ground ginger in a small bowl and set aside until the meatballs are done baking.

    Serve your Chinese Beef Meatballs by either dipping them into the Hoisin Ginger Sauce, plating and drizzling the sauce over them, or by placing them in a bowl or container and covering them with the sauce ( stir them in gently to avoid breaking the meatballs ). Enjoy!

      When you say ground ginger are you talking about fresh? That's what I usually use

        Fresh ginger is best, even the ginger paste that is found in tubes in the produce aisle but ground ginger (spice) works as well. We love using fresh ginger!

      Hi! I was wondering if these need to be eaten warm or if they are great at room temperature. I have a get together and I'm serving appetizers, but I don't want to be cooking when guests arrive. Thanks. Great recipe!

        Yes, you can keep them at room temp for quite a while or keep them warmed in a crock pot for your guests 🙂
