How to make Teriyaki Meatballs
Tips from the cook
- Roll the meatballs small, about half an inch, so they cook through quickly and take the glaze evenly.
- Rotate the meatballs in the pan, so they brown on all sides.
- Take the sauce off the heat once it has thickened, as it keeps thickening while it cools.
- Toss the meatballs in the sauce at the end, just until it starts to caramelise.
