These Asian Meatballs make a perfect appetizer and are great served over rice too. Plus, they were a huge hit at my last get together. I put the meatballs directly into the pot that I made the sauce in and let them cool. Then, I covered the pot with plastic wrap and put it in my fridge. That way, when it was almost time for my guests to arrive, all I had to do was put the pot on the stove, reheat them and plate them up.
Ingredients for Asian Meatballs
1 pound ground beef (I used 93/7 ground sirloin)
1 pound ground pork (I used 93/7)
1 teaspoon Kosher salt (2 if you’re not putting them in a sauce)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 Tablespoon minced ginger
1 Tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
1 cup chopped green onions (about 6, green and white parts)
2 eggs
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
green onions and furikake for garnish

Instructions for Asian Meatballs – Please enjoy the video tutorial (below the instructions) for some extra hints and tricks before you get started.
1. Combine all of your ingredients into a large bowl. Mix the ingredients by pushing down and folding – resist the urge to squeeze the meat. This heats the fat and can create a tough, dry meatball.
2. Roll your meatballs into the desired size. I made mine just larger than a cotton ball. Place them on a sheet pan. I lined mine with aluminum foil (for easy clean-up) and also sprayed the foil with cooking spray.
3. Bake your meatballs at 400°F turning halfway through the cooking time. Mine took 14 minutes.
4. Remove your meatballs from the oven and add them to your desired sauce or serve them over rice. I have left a link below to my homemade teriyaki sauce. I also garnished mine with furikake and green onions.
