1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place the onion, ginger, garlic, chopped basil salt, pepper, 1/4 cup of Hoisin sauce in a blender or food processor and blend until all ingredients are incorporated.
3. In a large bowl mix together all the ingredients with beef. (Do not over-mix or meatballs will be tougher)
4. Roll into approximately 48 meatballs (about golf-size). Place on sprayed baking sheets or parchment paper and bake 20-22 minutes until just starting to brown.
5. Stir together remaining hoisin sauce and dressing. Spoon over meatballs when while still hot.
