Ginger Scallion Meatballs with Soba Noodles

Soba noodles are a Japanese noodle made of buckwheat. I wasn’t really familiar with it prior to going to Japan but we had them there one night and really liked the flavor and texture.

For the meatballls recipe I used similar ingredients as in my Asian mini burgers simply because with just a few ingredients you will achieve delicious flavors.

16oz fresh ground spicy pork sausage

16oz lean ground beef

1 tbsp grated ginger

1 tbsp garlic chili sauce

1/2 cup minced scallions/green onion

1 large egg


Meatballs Instructions

In a large bowl combine beef, pork, ginger, garlic chili sauce, minced green onion and egg.

Roll up meatballs into 1 inch diameter

Brown meatballs in a pan on medium heat

Sauce Ingredients – 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup sesame oil, 1 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, I tbsp garlic chili sauce. *Whisk together and set aside.
