INGREDIENTS
- 2 Lbs. ground beef (85/15 works best)
- 2 Tbl. dry minced onion
- ⅔ c. panko bread crumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1½ tsp. ground ginger
- ¼ c. milk
- 2 tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
- Teriyaki Sauce:
- 1½ c. cold water
- 1 tsp. garlic powder

- ½ c. low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 Tbl. cornstarch
- 1 tsp. sesame oil
- For serving:
- cooked white or brown rice
- chopped green onions, opt.
- cooked broccoli florets
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan; set aside. To a large bowl, add ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, milk, ginger, salt and pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined. Use a 1½ Tablespoon cookie scoop and scoop meat mixture into balls and place in prepared pan. Or, rub a little oil on your hands and then roll the meat mixture into roughly 1-inch balls. Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Makes around 35 meatballs.
- To prepare the teriyaki sauce: Pour all of the sauce ingredients into a medium saucepan. Whisk together until no lumps remain. Heat over medium heat until it thickens, whisking occasionally. This should only take 3-5 minutes.
- When meatballs are done baking, dunk them in the teriyaki sauce and serve over cooked rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with broccoli florets on the side.
