    Step 1

    To get started, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line a baking tray with baking paper.

    Shape the mixture into meatballs and arrange them on the lined baking tray. Drizzle over the sesame oil and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

    Step 4

    While the meatballs are baking, it's time to make the Kung Pao sauce! Heat the soy sauce, vinegar, Erythritol and chili powder in a skillet or frying pan. Simmer for a few minutes until thickened and if the sauce is too thick add a little bit of water.

    Step 5

    Add the meatballs to the sauce and stir them until they're fully coated.

    Storage Instructions

    In the fridge: Leftover meatballs can be placed in the refrigerator in an airtight container where they'll keep for 3 to 4 days.

    In the freezer: You can store these meatballs in the freezer and they're great to make in batches for meal prep. Place the meatballs on a baking tray lined with baking paper and place them in the freezer until they're frozen. Transfer them to a freezer proof container layered between baking paper or a large zip lock bag.

    Reheating in the oven: Place the meatballs in a frying pan or baking dish and cover it with foil. Bake them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for around 15 minutes until they're hot all the way through.

    Reheating in the microwave: If you're in a hurry you can also reheat these meatballs a microwave. Place them in a microwave-safe container and cover them with a damp cloth to keep them moist. Microwave them for 60 seconds at a time until hot all the way through.
