Place all of the meatball ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly with your hands.
Line a large baking tray with non-stick paper and shape your meatballs with your hands.

While the meatballs cook, make your glaze.
Mix all the glaze ingredients in a bowl to combine, then put the mixture into the pan and turn the heat to high. When it boils, add back all the meatballs.
