MEATBALLS
2
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine ground pork, chopped yellow onion, chopped scallion, minced garlic cloves, soy sauce, and plain panko breadcrumbs. Mix together without overworking the mixture.
3
Form the mixture into 18 meatballs and place them in an oven-safe skillet. Pan fry the meatballs until they're golden brown on all sides.
4
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the meatballs for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked.
TERIYAKI SAUCE
5
While the meatballs are baking, combine soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, ground ginger, and cornstarch in a bowl and whisk together, setting aside.
6
Once meatballs are baked, take out the skillet and place on the stove over medium-low heat. Stir in the prepared teriyaki sauce until the meatballs are well coated. The sauce will thicken as it heats.
SERVING
7
Ladle steaming jasmine rice onto plates, top with teriyaki-glazed meatballs, and serve with a side of steamed broccoli. Garnish with sliced scallions and enjoy.
