Instructions
To make the meatballs:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Add all of the meatball ingredients to a large mixing bowl and use your hands to combine the mixture. Be careful not to overmix.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out balls of the mixture and roll gently into a meatball.
- Place the meatballs evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 15 minutes or until cooked through.
To make the sauce:
- While the meatballs are cooking, add the soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, honey, and 1 cup of water to a saucepan over medium heat and whisk well to combine.
- Bring sauce to a simmer.
- Add the cornstarch to a small bowl with 2 tablespoons of water and stir with a fork to combine.
- Pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce and whisk well until the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes.
For serving:
- Toss the cooked meatballs in the teriyaki sauce to coat.
- Serve over rice or with toothpicks.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.
Notes
- Be sure to use low sodium soy sauce in the sauce, so that you can control the salt levels. It’s easy to add additional salt (or a dash or two of regular soy sauce) after the sauce comes together, but it will be too salty if you start with regular soy sauce.
- For an extra dark sauce, use half low sodium soy sauce and half dark soy sauce. It adds a gorgeous color to the sauce without adding a ton of extra sodium.
