Oriental Meatball Sliders with Kimchi Slaw and Hoisin Mayonnaise

Today’s recipe Oriental Meatball Sliders with Kimchi Slaw and Hoisin Mayonnaise. 

Hi all, hope everyone’s warming up / cooling down for the weekend. 🙂

Usually my husbands contribution to this blog is limited to filling his stomach and than coming up with a few responses on the relevant recipes but this time something happened he liked it so much that he snatched the laptop from me and told that he would like to express his own feelings about the dish in order to be succinct about flavours and his experience while eating the dish. Well in his own words than here we go….. 

Well, I had a horrible long day at work and had only had a nibble for lunch and was famished and was as usual pottering around the kitchen for a bite to grab when suddenly wifey turned around and told me go have a seat and I will get something out for you; “Music to my ears and a rumbling tummy” trust me however I wasn’t expecting anything like this though.

Suddenly she got these beautiful looking round colourful things that looked like mini burgers from the distance and smelt absolutely amazing. So without further adieu I just took my first bite into the sliders  and …. Awww my god that felt amazing flavours dancing all over my tongue it was tangy, sweet , salty and the meatballs tasted amazing. If I don’t talk about the buns I would be doing a mammoth injustice they where the most soft  and fluffy piece of bread I had ever tasted. I can keep on writing about the flavours but I wont, I would just say if you want to score some browny points with your partner this would be a perfect dish. Thanks wifey for the amazing flavours keep em coming 🙂 Muuuah. 

Awww… thank you so much baby…. so now you know how utterly delicious these sliders are…

I am left with nothing much to say just that these are amazing little burgers filled with sticky sweet and savoury meatballs topped with hoisin mayo and kimchi slaw which is sweet & spicy, crunchy and vinegary, a great accompaniment to the meatballs; and and if you have all the ingredients on hand, these can be prepared within half an hour.. 😀

So lets head straight to the recipe of these delicious and oh-so-easy oriental meatballs sliders.
