Asian Meatball Sub

Ryan is a huge fan of meatball subs, but the meatball subs that he is used to are usually more of the Italian variety. You know, the ones loaded with mozzarella and marinara. While those are delicious, I decided to go with an Asian inspired sub for this recipe. Instead of using Italian sausage for these meatballs, I mixed pork with oyster sauce, sesame oil and ginger and then instead of marinara, I decided to make a spicy sriracha slaw to top it all off. Let’s just say after the look on Ryan’s face after one bite I’m pretty sure he’s a fan of the Asian variety of the meatball sub as well.

You might recognize the sriracha slaw that I used for this recipe. I’ve used it before. It’s just so good. So spicy and the dressing not only coats the broccoli slaw nicely but it wiggles its way into the crevasses of the hoagie rolls making each bite juicy and flavorful.
