Supper Club: Hoisin Cocktail Meatballs

This month's Supper Club theme was Dim Sum. I had taken a Dim Sum class over at the Institute of Culinary Education a little while back, so two of the recipes that I chose for our event were from that class.

These hoisin meatballs are incredibly moist and flavorful, and the dipping sauce is perfect alongside. I mixed everything together in a bowl in the morning, and then covered it and left it in the fridge until we were ready to cook for the evening, and it worked out great.

These would be great for any dinner party, don't limit it to Dim Sum!
