Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings Meatballs: 1 ¼ pounds ground pork 1 cup cooked rice ⅓ cup minced red onion ⅓ cup diced dried apricots 1 tablespoon rice vinegar 1 tablespoon sesame oil 2 teaspoons ground coriander 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste ½ teaspoon white pepper ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste Glaze: 1 ½ cups apricot preserves ⅓ cup hoisin sauce 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger 2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce 1 medium lime, juiced 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro Directions Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Combine pork, cooked rice, onion, apricots, vinegar, sesame oil, coriander, salt, pepper, and pepper flakes in a medium mixing bowl; mix until well blended. Form into 24 meatballs, each about 1 1/2 inch in diameter. Place meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Remove meatballs from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, melt apricot preserves in a small saucepan over medium heat, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in hoisin sauce, ginger, chili-garlic sauce, and lime juice. Place meatballs in a serving dish and pour glaze over top. Garnish with cilantro.
