So, I have Asian food on the brain. I can’t get enough of it. It probably doesn’t help that I watch cooking shows on TV up until the very minute that I fall asleep. Yes, I am one of those people. Or at least I have been over the past few weeks.
Currently, my favorite late night Cooking Channel TV show is 
Yum, these look great! Such a fun post to read, too 🙂 I don’t really watch much food TV– even though I devour all food-related stuff on the internet (+ cookbooks)– but I will have to check out “Eat Street” sometime now! (And fingers crossed that you can take over that guy’s job!)
Also, I can’t believe it took you so long to warm up to Sriracha, but I agree with you wholeheartedly about Tabasco– that stuff is gross!
Haha, thank you Allison! 🙂 I would be in heaven if I had that job. . but then I guess I would have major heart problems and would have to exercise all the time! 😛
Great concept, great photos. As for Sriracha sauce, I like it a lot. My third son loves it. I gave him a birthday present of nothing but Sriracha stuff, i.e Sriracha sauce, Sriracha peas, Sriracha nuts, Sriracha cookbook, Sriracha apron, etc. I also love Tobasco sauce but it beloings in certain dishes. Baby Lady prefers Louisiana Hot Sauce. My favorite truly is my own hot sauce I make from scratch. I don’t have wooden barrels or the capacity to temperature store the stuff to age it but my own fermented hot sauce is scrumptious. I send it to my third son in bottles labeled “Yo Daddy Hot Sauce” with a date on it. What I keep for me is simply bottled and dated. The technique is posted on the blog. I also have a different version posted on Facebook under the REMCooks page. Once you start making your own, your husband will forget about Sriracha Sauce.
Wow, Richard. . I am totally going to look for that hot sauce recipe. . love it! And I especially love that you labeled it “Yo Daddy Hot Sauce”- freaking love that! 🙂
Omg I just saw that sauce at the grocery store the other day when buying curry paste! It looked so good!! The sandwiches look so flavorful and so colorful. Love them!! I’ve yet to try Sriracha sauce but need too!!
Thank you so much Brandi! I’m not completely sure on the ingredients. . but if you like a little spicy and a kick with your Asian food, you should definitely try it!! 🙂
looks fabulous! i may have to make this recipe… thanks!
Oh Allie, it’s wonderful. . let me know if you do! At least make the meatballs. . they are so yummy! 🙂
I hear you, sista. I could watch Cooking Channel all day long, lol. Eat St. is also one of my faves – very inspiring. So, yes to this meatball sandwich. Frederick would love this since he’s a sriracha whore. One time, I challenged him to eat sriracha candy but he refused it. Boo…
PS: no tabasco for me, either.
haha, that’s awesome! Thank you, Linda and let me know if you try it! 🙂
Time and time again, it’s genius culinary creations like this that reconfirm why you’re one of my foodie heroes. This looks like a damn good sandwich, Alice. I’m not the biggest fan of sriracha so I would use it sparingly but a drizzle of honey to finish the sammich off? Hells to the yeah!
This meatball sub and I might just run away together one day! Loved it at first sight and it’s actually perfect food for hot summer days too 🙂
Man, do I love meatballs…and this Asian twist sounds spectacular! Love how you piled the sandwich high with veggies…so, so good!!!
Whoa! I am drooling over this meatball. I have never thought of marinating with hoisin. Yum! Gotta try this out this weekend. Perfect BBQ party dish too.
P/S: Thanks for coming over too, truly appreciate the support. ♥ Jo
Of course! Thank you Jo!
omg…drool… isn’t meatballs the most glorious invention!
Your pictures are so well done. This looks amazing
Thank you so much, Heather! 🙂
Oh. My. Gosh. These sandwiches look absolutely amazing… I ate something similar to this in a market recently and it’s been on my brain ever since. Thanks for sharing your recipe, yay! I’m excited to make it at home!!
Thank you, Laura! I hope you do try these!
Get out of town. I can’t even handle this. Need. NOW.
Haha, LOL! Love this comment! 🙂
Tabasco is the worst.
Also, making these soon. YUM!
Jennifer! Awesome! you will love these!
Omg. It’s 12:47 am here and all I can think about is how freakin’ awesome these sandwiches look. Do you deliver?!
I’ve never wanted a meatball sammich more in my LIFE!!!!
Haha, thank you Megan! Yes, you seriously need to try this recipe. .
