Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C)
   

2. Prepare the Meatballs

• In a large mixing bowl, combine your ground meat of choice, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, 1 minced garlic clove, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

• Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

• Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
  

3. Prepare the Glaze

   • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the jam, soy sauce, remaining minced garlic clove, and minced ginger.

   • Stir the mixture until the jam melts and the glaze is smooth.

   • Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
     

4. Glaze the Meatballs

• Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer them to the saucepan with the glaze.

• Gently toss the meatballs in the glaze until they are well coated.

• Let them simmer in the glaze for an additional 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Serve hot as an appetizer, garnishing with fresh parsley if desired!
