Chinese Spaghetti and Meatballs

I've barely put away the leftovers from today's Chinese Spaghetti and Meatballs, and I already find myself craving more. Tender pork meatballs are studded with soy sauce, green onions, and carrot, baked, and tossed with easy soy noodles. Such a fun twist on Spaghetti and meatballs .

Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb ground pork
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tbsp + 1 tsp soy sauce, divided
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce, divided
  • 2 tbsp + 1 tsp sesame oil, divided
  • 5 large garlic cloves, divided
  • 4 green onions, sliced and divided
  • 3 tsp sesame seeds, divided
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 3/4 cup julienned carrots
  • 3/4 cup thinly sliced onion
  • 12 oz soba noodles
  • 3 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2-3/4 cup chicken stock
  • 2-3 tsp sriracha Optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • Add pork, breadcrumbs, egg yolk, 1 tablespoon hoisin, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, ground ginger, 1 tablespoon sliced green onion, 1 teaspoon sesame seeds and 2 grated garlic cloves (grated on a microplane) to a medium bowl. Gently mix everything until combined. Use a small ice cream scoop to form the meat into 15 meatballs. Line up on baking sheet and bake until cooked through, about 12-15 minutes. 
  • In another small bowl, whisk remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 3 tablespoons hoisin, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, rice vinegar and 1/2 cup chicken stock together. 
  • Bring a large stock pot to a rolling boil. Season with salt. Cook soba noodles according to package directions. Drain. 
  • While noodles cook, heat a large non-stick skillet, to a medium heat. Add remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Once the oil is hot, add carrots and onion. Sauté until carrots are slightly softened and onions are translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add remaining garlic, cook another minute. 
  • Add cooked soba noodles and sauce. Toss until the noodles have soaked up the sauce. If necessary, use a little bit more chicken stock to loosen the sauce up. Add sriracha if you want some spice! Add remaining green onion and sesame seeds, toss one more time. 
  • Transfer to serving dish and place meatballs on top. Garnish with more green onion and sesame seeds if desired.
