Ingredients:

For the meatballs:

  • 6 good quality pork sausages
  • 3 spring onions (finely sliced)
  • 2tbsp black sesame seeds
  • pinch of chilli flakes (or more if you like things spicy)

For the glaze:

  • 1tsp sesame oil
  • 1tsp chilli oil
  • 2tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 2tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 4tbsp runny honey

Method:

Mix all glaze ingredients in a bowl and put aside.

Remove sausage meat from skins and mix all meatball ingredients together in a bowl (you may need to add some beaten egg if the ingredients don’t come together).  Shape the mix into small manageable balls (I like to keep them to bite-sized morsels because my chopstick skills are questionable) Pop the meatballs on a baking try and cook in a medium oven for about 15 minutes.

Remove the meatballs from the oven and whack the heat up to full.  Pour the glaze over the meatballs and return to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the the glaze has gone dark and sticky.

Serve with boiled white rice and stir-fried veggies.
