                                Ingredients
For the meatballs:
- 1 lb ground pork or ground turkey (can use ground beef or a mix)
 - 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
 - 1 large egg, beaten
 - 2 green onions, sliced
 - 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
 - 1 clove garlic, minced
 - 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
 - 1/2 teaspoon lime zest
 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
 - 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
 
For the dressing:
- 1/4 cup avocado oil or olive oil
 - 1/4 cup lite soy sauce or Tamari
 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
 - 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
 - 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, can use honey
 - 2 teaspoons sesame oil,
 - 2 cloves garlic minced
 - 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
 - crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
 
For Making a Bowl:
- Vermicelli rice noodles or rice
 - cucumber slices
 - shredded carrots
 - shredded cabbage
 - thinly sliced red bell pepper
 - avocado slices
 - Fresh herbs: cilantro, mint, and/or basil
 - sliced green onions
 - chopped peanuts
 - sesame seeds
 - lime wedges, for serving
 
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
 - In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, green onions, cilantro, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, lime zest, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Using your hands, work the mixture until evenly combined.
 - Using an ice cream scoop or large cookie scoop, scoop about two tablespoons of the mixture into your palms and roll it into a ball. Place the ball on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the mixture, spacing the meatballs out onto the baking sheet, about 2-inches apart.
 - Bake the meatballs for 18 to 22 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until cooked through.
 - To make the dressing, in a small bowl or jar, whisk together the oil, soy sauce, lime juice, rice wine vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if necessary.
 - You can serve the meatballs with rice and your favorite vegetables. Drizzle with the dressing.
 - You can also make a bowl. To assemble the bowls, divide the noodles or rice among bowls and top with meatballs. Garnish with toppings and serve with the dressing.
