Ingredients
  

Meatballs:

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 2 eggs
  • cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 3 Tbsp milk
  • 1 ½ tsp worcestershire sauce
  • 3 Tbsp dry minced onion

Sauce:

  • cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • ½ tsp ground ginger

Instructions
 

  • Spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 400°.
  • Combine ground beef, eggs, panko crumbs, salt, pepper, ginger, garlic powder, milk, worcestershire, and minced onion in a large bowl. Mix together with your hands until just combined.
  • Use a 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop to scoop meat mixture, then form into meatballs.
  • Place meatballs on the cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until browned all the way through. Internal temperature should be 160°.
  • While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce. In a large soup pot, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, cold water, cornstarch, vinegar, and ginger until cornstarch is dissolved.
  • Turn heat to medium high. Cook and whisk until the mixture boils and thickens, usually 3-5 minutes.
  • When meatballs are done, transfer them to the pot of sauce and stir to coat.
  • Serve meatballs and sauce over hot cooked rice, garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • I like my meatballs with crispy edges, so I like to broil them for the last 5 minutes, shaking the pan every 30-60 seconds.
  • I usually get around 50 meatballs, your number may vary depending on the size you roll them.
