Ingredients
Scale
Meatballs
- 1 lb ground pork (I prefer to use local organic ground pork)
- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated fine ( I like to use my micro-plane the best)
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- *optional, 1-2 extra green onions, chopped as a garnish
Ginger Teriyaki Sauce (You will have extra to enjoy with another meal)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in mixing bowl and combine well with hands
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Once well combined use the larger side of melon-baller to ball up and roll mixture into small meatballs. (I make mine cocktail size, about 1″ diameter)
- Place meatballs on aluminum foil lined and oil sprayed sheet pan or straight onto lightly greased sheet pan evenly spaced apart. (A broiler pan works great as well)
- Bake 20-25 minutes (or internal temperature of meatballs at least 160 degrees) Turn meatballs about halfway through. Either jiggle the sheet pan to loosen or turn manually (I like to use a wide spatula to turn 4/time)
- If not up to temp add another 2-3 minutes.
- While meatballs are cooking start preparing your Ginger Teriyaki Sauce. (Cook your starch if you’re adding any to the dish at this time as well.)
- Once cooked you can serve immediately over rice or noodles. If you are not serving yet, you can keep the meatballs warm in a crock-pot til ready to serve. If your Teriyaki Sauce is ready, coat the meatballs in a little sauce while you’re waiting to serve them.
- You can serve a little extra sauce on the side for people to add more on their own to their liking.
