Saucy Teriyaki Meatballs are bursting with flavor in an easy recipe that comes together with just a few ingredients. The whole family is going to love 'em. Simple recipe, awesome meatballs!
The real key to simple cooking is using the right ingredients. When you are only using a handful of ingredients getting the most bang for your buck is really important.
I have been craving those Asian flavors that I love so much, you know the ones I mean soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame and scallions.
Pretty much anything you add them too becomes an amazing Asian inspired dish. My picky crew is really crazy about meatballs!
So I figured if I whipped up some delicious Teriyaki Meatballs it would be a win for everyone. And was I ever right.
When I started putting this recipe together my ingredient list was so long and that is never good. Then I realized that if I just put the teriyaki right into the meatballs I can make dinner much simpler AND tastier!
What could be easier? The entire meal comes together in just 30 minutes and is delicious served over steamed vegetables or rice.
These teriyaki meatballs are unlike anything I have ever tasted. They are bursting with flavor and are amazing on their own.
I mean seriously the best ever teriyaki meatballs. But, we are a sauce loving family so I whipped up an amazing teriyaki sauce to go with the meatballs.
It is so simple because the teriyaki sauce is a stand-alone with the garlic, ginger and sesame. So, it really knocks it out of the park.
I added some pineapple juice for added sweetness and then some corn starch to really thicken it up. We devoured the whole thing. So, no matter how you decide to eat them, you are going to love them! Again and again.

Helpful Tips to make Saucy Teriyaki Meatballs:
- If you lightly wet your hands the meatballs will form better and crack less.
- These meatballs are amazingly flavorful without the sauce. If you are cutting back feel free to serve without the sauce. I have really enjoyed the meatballs without the sauce in veggie wraps.
- Can be served as an appetizer or over rice or veggies for dinner.
What you will need to make Saucy Teriyaki Meatballs:
- A large skillet with a lid – To help the pasta cook evenly, a wide skillet works best, ideally one that’s more than 12 inches in diameter.
- Jelly Roll Pans (baking sheets with sides) - used for everything from cookies to roasting, a good baking pan will last for years.
Enjoy!
