How To Make Kung Pao Meatballs

These low carb meatballs couldn't be easier to make, with just 10 minutes of prep and 15 minutes of cooking. Follow the 5 easy steps below!

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line a baking tray with baking paper.

• In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, almond flour, egg, and minced garlic. Mix them all together until well combined.

• Shape the mixture into 6 to 8 meatballs, arrange them on the lined baking tray, and drizzle over the sesame oil.

• Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

• 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 water.

• Mix the meatballs with the sauce and stir until they're fully coated. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onion.

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 in the freezer until 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 in a microwave. Place them in a microwave-safe container and cover them with a damp cloth to keep them moist. Microwave them in 60-second intervals until hot all the way through.
