Made these tonight, family loved them. Prepared the meatballs the night before then added them to the slow cooker with the sauces. Served with fried rice…yummy
I make these on a regular basis, really easy and soooo yummy. Great for finger food for parties too.
Hit in my house! Hubby and I had fights over who was having the left overs ?
Am dying to try this ?
This is so yummy, I have made it several times.
can we double the recipe for a 6L slow cooker???
Sure 🙂
Made this recipe so quick and easy
Had with rice and mixed veg stirfry packet
Cooked for 4 hours. Turn out yummy my Husband ate it all nice meal
Yes very nice thanks and worked a treat with the boys. I used a kilo if normal mince and doubled everything. Perfect.
These were extremely easy to make and very tasty. I dipped them in the sauce before I put them in the 5.5l sc, then tipped the remaining sauce over them. 3 hours low and they were perfect and held together well. They sat very well on fried rice (Recipe 2 on site). I defintiely recommend them and will do them again.
These meatballs were so tasty and easy to make, I substituted the pork mince for chicken mince and I served with a Japanese coleslaw, recipe below. The flavours worked together really well.
Japanese coleslaw:
½ cup Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise
juice of 1 lemon juice
¼ tsp ground pepper
6 cups thinly sliced cabbage
1 cucumber, sliced into ribbons
¼ cup crispy fried shallots
Made these again tonight because they were such a hit the first time I made them. Super easy to make and really tasty. The family love them.
Can you use already made balls but roll them in bread crumbs?
You could yes just add the ginger and garlic to the sauce since you’ll b missing it in the meatballs
Did these with pre-made meatballs from Aldi. Hit with fussy husband.
Did these tonight using chicken mince. Amazing! Family loved them. Had them on fettuccine.
So easy and all ingredients I had in the cupboard/fridge.
Do you cook it on high or low?
Low as recipes says Cheryl 🙂
Delicious – really loved the flavour of the sauce. I needed about 2/3 cup panko. And didn’t have any spring onions otherwise I would have used them.
Served with rice and steamed Asian greens.
Another slow-cooker meal that the fussy little one actually ate (minus the greens haha).
Paulene, silly question. However, how do I roll into 1 inch balls ???
Thank you very much.
Anne.
As in the ball would be about 1 inch across 🙂 Think of kind of a golf ball but a smidge smaller
D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S
Is an understatement. Oh boy these were so good, so much flavour with simple ingredients. I doubled everything and used ginger from a jar, we served it with fried rice. I didn’t use the shallots only because my husband doesn’t like them but I highly recommend this recipe. Added bonus was my teenage son was quiet at the dinner table while polishing it off, a first for everything haha
Made these yesterday. They were delicious but I probably mushed the meatball ingredients too much – the texture was too mushy/soft.
They were so simple- the sauce AMAZING
Made this for the first time today and want be the last. The meatballs were very easy to make and the sauce was delish. Will be trying the sauce with chicken next. Served with mash and steamed veggies.
Do you add the stock powder tom paste curry to the meatball mix
Yes as per first step Combine all ingredients except for the sauces in a large bowl and that’s the meatball mix
Easy to make and very tasty hubby said was yum. I didn’t add shallots as kids don’t like green things hahaha I also used minced ginger .I found 3 hours was long enough on low. Will make this again for sure.
I can’t find the low on my slow cooker so could I just cook them for1.5 hrs to 2hrs
Is your cooker an actual slow cooker or a multi cooker? If it’s a multi with only one ‘slow cook’ setting it’s most likely similar to a low on an actual slow cooker. So I would suggest 3-4hrs
Hi Pauline , question again I have my meatballs ready and discovered I don’t have plum sauce would tamarind paste substitute I can’t think what else to use ? have everything else
Sorry I only am just seeing this now a couple days later Annette – did you use that substitute and how did it go? I’ve never cooked with tamarind myself?
