Make the Teriyaki Sauce
- Add to a saucepan the vegetable oil, garlic and ginger. Heat over medium for 5 minutes stirring constantly. Add the sake, mirin, and soy sauce, simmer for about 5 minutes or until the alcohol has cooked off.

Stir the cornstarch slurry into the teriyaki sauce and stir over medium heat until thickened. Set aside
- When the meatballs are cooked, add into the saucepan with the teriyaki sauce and carefully stir them to coat them in the teriyaki sauce.
- Serve the teriyaki meatballs over rice and garnish with more sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Enjoy!
