These miso-glazed meatball sliders combine savory, sweet, and umami flavors in juicy pork meatballs, glazed with a miso-honey sauce and served on soft slider buns with pickled daikon and carrot for a delightful mini sandwich.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup shredded daikon radish
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sake
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon water (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste (for glaze)
  • 6 slider buns
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
  2. Remove from heat and add shredded daikon and carrot. Let cool, then transfer to the refrigerator and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, mix ground pork, 2 tablespoons miso paste, soy sauce, sake, mirin, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, panko, and egg until well combined.
  4. Form the meat mixture into 6 equal meatballs.
  5. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat cooking. Place meatballs on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through (about 10–12 minutes).
  6. While meatballs are cooking, combine honey, 1 tablespoon miso, and 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until smooth and slightly thickened.
  7. Brush meatballs with the miso-honey glaze during the last few minutes of grilling.
  8. Toast slider buns on the grill until lightly browned.
  9. Assemble sliders by placing a meatball on each bun, topping with pickled vegetables and sliced scallions if desired.

Notes

  • Pickled vegetables can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Use ground chicken or turkey as a leaner alternative to pork.
  • The miso glaze also works well as a dipping sauce.
