A little bit sweet, a little bit spicy, these meatballs and glaze make a great appetizer that is good warm or at room temperature.

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.
