Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375º F. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. Mix cabbage and salt in large bowl; let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in onion, ginger, breadcrumbs, sesame seed oil, and soy sauce. Add pork; mix (do not overwork meat mixture). With damp hands, form mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on prepared baking pan.
  3. For sauce, combine jam, vinegar, chili sauce, and soy sauce. Remove 3 tablespoons sauce and use to lightly brush meatballs. Bake meatballs in oven for 14 to 18 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted near centers reads 160° F.
  4. If desired, warm remaining sauce. Transfer meatballs to warmed serving dish. Serve with sauce for dipping. Or toss meatballs with sauce and keep warm in a mini slow cooker.

Tips

To quickly make meatballs, use a 1-inch scoop to measure out meat; then form with hands.
