  • 1 tsp ginger grated
  • 2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
  • 0.5 tsp salt

  • 0.25 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp ketchup
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ginger grated
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp water cold

Instructions
 

Meatballs

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • In a bowl, whisk egg with garlic, ginger, green onions, panko, salt, and pepper; fold in pork until just combined.
  • Roll into 24 meatballs and arrange on the sheet.
  • Bake 16–18 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Sauce

  • Combine honey, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, sriracha, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil in a pan over medium heat.
  • Bring to a gentle boil, then stir in cornstarch slurry; simmer 1–2 minutes until thickened.
  • Toss baked meatballs in sauce for 1–2 minutes to coat evenly.

Notes

Make sure to cool meatballs completely before refrigerating.
For best results, reheat in the oven, not the microwave.
Sauce can be made a day ahead and stored separately for enhanced flavor.
