Equipment

  • 6.5 ltr slow cooker

Ingredients
 

  • 1 kg beef mince
  • 1 brown onion finely diced
  • 1 tbsp Minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp minced ginger
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar
  • 4 Spring onions sliced
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 Eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 bottle of Honey Soy Garlic marinade I used Masterfoods

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients (except the bottle of marinade) well
  • Form mixture into golf size meatballs. I got 44 from this mix.
  • Place meatballs in slow cooker. I had to do this in two layers.
  • Pour marinade over meatballs.
  • Cover and cook on low for 2 hours at which stage you can gently separate the meatballs. Continue to cook for another two hours.
  • If sauce is too thin for your liking thicken with a small amount of corn flour and water.
  • Served with boiled rice and steamed vegetables.
  • Inspired by the Mongolian mince spaghetti recipe

    I haven’t made it yet but I was wondering, can it be frozen? I live alone, and I’d love to eat one serve, and freeze the rest. It looks yummy.
    Many thanks for your kindness,
    Sharon

      I don’t see why these couldn’t be frozen Sharon – should be ok 🙂

    I didn’t add the spring onions or onion due to my kids wouldn’t eat them. I added a slice onion on top of the meatballs before adding the sauce. I did find the mixture very liquidy and had to add another 1C of breadcrumbs. Some of the meatballs did fall apart when I gave it a stir after 2 hours. But it did taste delicious. Served with rice and veggies. Would happily make again but probably add even more breadcrumbs.
