I absolutely loved this combination of meats. It came out just great. The meatballs were delicious and the sauce just took them a notch higher. Do give them a go, I’m pretty sure they’ll be a hit in your kitchen! We’ll get straight into it.

BTW…. I took the shots of the finished meatballs myself this time as hubby (who usually takes all images here) was extremely busy! Not bad right 😀

  6. In the meantime, prepare the sauce.

  8. When garlic and ginger are aromatic, pour the honey and soy mixture into saucepan. Bring to the boil. Add sugar and still. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and simmer for 3-5 min, stirring occasionally.
  9. Pour some of this sauce over the meatballs. Mix until meatballs are well coated with the sauce. Save the remaining sauce to use as a condiment, basting sauce or marinade  even for another recipe. Enjoy!
