Instructions

1

Make the Meatball Mixture

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, panko, egg, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Mix until just combined and do not overwork the meat.

2

Form and Bake

Roll the mixture into 1.5 inch meatballs and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned on the outside.

3

Make the Glaze

While the meatballs bake, combine the honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.

4

Coat the Meatballs

Transfer the hot baked meatballs into a large bowl. Pour the warm glaze over the meatballs and toss gently until every meatball is fully coated in the sticky sauce.

5

Garnish and Serve

Transfer the glazed meatballs to a serving platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onion if desired. Serve immediately over steamed rice or as an appetizer with toothpicks.

Substitutions

Common mistakes

Overmixing the meat mixture which compresses the proteins and results in dense chewy meatballs
Making the meatballs too large which causes the outside to overbrown before the inside is fully cooked
Adding the glaze while the meatballs are still on the baking sheet which causes the sugar to burn on the hot pan
