Notes
- There is no need to add salt to the ground meat mixture. The soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and breadcrumbs have enough salt in them to season the meatballs.
- The most effective tool for both mixing the ground meat and forming the meatballs is your hands. You can always use gloves if you don’t like touching meat.
- For food safety, use an instant-read digital meat thermometer to ensure that your meatballs are fully cooked and have reached an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
