Ask a question about this stepUsing clean hands, shape into 1-2 inch meatballs and arrange on a baking sheet. To cook, bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes (or you can simmer the meatballs for 25-30 minutes in your favorite sauce).
Ask a question about this stepI love miso and these sound delicious. I'm saving and will try soon! (Have you tried it with other kinds of miso?)
Oh, YUM, Winnie - I'm a huge fan of the miso+meat combo, and these sound fabulous!
Thanks for sharing, you use white miso, is that in place of the salt?
Sounds so interesting. I am going to have to try this just so I can taste it.
I noticed red miso in adamsvetcooking's meat-so balls, too, which look wonderful. White miso is what I use in my soups but never thought to use with meatballs. A great idea. Thanks.
