Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 1lb ground pork
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumb (I used panko)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

For topping and serving:

  • sesame seeds
  • sliced green onion
  • rice
  • veggies

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix together pork, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, ginger and salt until well combined. Form into ~16 meatballs.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add meatballs and cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 160F.
  3. While meatballs are cooking, in a small sauce pan, whisk together all sauce ingredients over medium heat. Once bubbling, simmer for 4-5 minutes over low.
  4. Place cooked meatballs in a bowl and toss with sticky sauce.
  5. Serve on a plate with rice and veggies and top with sesame seeds and green onion.
