Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 green onion very thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon sesame seeds
  • ½ teaspoon sriracha optional
  • ½ teaspoon sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions optional garnish
  • ¾ cup teriyaki sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, garlic, green onion, ginger, sesame oil, sesame seeds. Mix together with a fork to keep the meat mixture light.
  • Use a small ice cream scoop. Scoop the meatball mixture and roll them into balls.
  • Place meatballs on prepared baking sheet and cook for 20-22 minutes.
  • Add the meatballs to the sauce and toss to combine. Serve with your favorite sides and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onion.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

Notes

Variations - 
  • Ground chicken, beef, or turkey can be used instead of ground pork.
  • These Chinese pork meatballs can also be cooked in the oven. Bake them at 425 ℉ in a greased baking dish with the spicy sauce for about 15-20 minutes. 
  • For extra spice and a kick of heat to these juicy meatballs, consider adding in some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes into the ground pork mixture.
  • Low carb option - skip the rice and serve in lettuce cups.
 
You can use your favorite store-bought sauce!
This makes approximately 24 - 30 meatballs depending upon the size of the scoop used.
