Ingredients:

  • 3 cups water
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/8 cup lemon juice
  • 1/8 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sake
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1/3-1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch

Directions:

  1. Pour all ingredients (except the meatballs) into a pot, stir well to combine. Bring to a full boil, making sure that the cornstarch is incorporated before the liquid heats up.
  2. Add the meatballs. Bring back to a simmer, reduce heat and cook until warmed through, 10-15 minutes.
  3. I let mine cook for an hour and a half over low heat, since you can't really overcook them. You just need to stir the pot occasionally to make sure the sauce doesn't stick.
