About
These giant meatballs are mountains of flavors! Sweet Soy Glazed Meatballs are succulent spheres of pork flavor, accented with plenty of Asian-inspired umami and then coated in a sauce you'll want to eat with a spoon. Sweet, savory, nutty, and smoky, the sauce is perfect for coating not only the meatballs, but the bed of white rice underneath it. Sweet Soy Glazed Meatballs are truly special, from the first bite to the last!
