Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Sauce & Garnish

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Side

  • 2 cups cooked white rice

Instructions

  1. Mix and form meatballs: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
  2. Bake until brown: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  3. Make sauce: While the meatballs bake, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
  4. Glaze meatballs: Once the meatballs are done, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the warm honey garlic sauce over them. Toss gently to coat all meatballs evenly with the glaze.
  5. Serve over rice: Spoon the glazed meatballs over a bed of steamed white rice on serving plates.
  6. Garnish with green onions: Sprinkle sliced green onions over the top for a fresh, vibrant finish before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground pork with ground chicken or turkey if preferred.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • If you don’t have an oven, meatballs can be cooked stovetop in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through.
  • The sauce can be adjusted in sweetness by varying the amount of honey to taste.
  • Leftover meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
