Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil coated with cooking spray.

Add meatball ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Using wet hands, mix everything together until just combined, being careful not to over mix.

Using your hands or a cookie scoop, roll the mixture into about 20 meatballs. Depending how big/small you shape your meatballs, quantity and cook time may vary.

Bake meatballs for 20 minutes, until lightly golden brown, and a meat thermometers registers an internal temperature of at least 165F.

As the meatballs bake in the oven, prepare the teriyaki sauce. Add teriyaki sauce ingredients to a large skillet. Warm over medium heat and bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes. Once the sauce is thickened, turn off the heat.

Add the cooked meatballs to the skillet and toss to combine. Serve immediately! Optionally, garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Flax Egg Binding Secret 🥚
Mix your flax egg with a tablespoon of water and let it sit for 5 minutes before adding to the meat mixture—this ensures proper binding and prevents dry, crumbly meatballs.
Panko Moisture Balance 💧
Soak your panko breadcrumbs in a small amount of soy sauce or water for 2-3 minutes before mixing—this keeps the meatballs incredibly tender and juicy without the egg binder.
Ginger-Garlic Bloom Technique 🔪
Finely mince fresh ginger and garlic, then briefly toast them in the teriyaki sauce over low heat before coating the meatballs to intensify their aromatic flavors.
Cornstarch Glaze Perfection ✨
Mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry, then whisk it into your teriyaki sauce in the final minute to achieve a glossy, restaurant-quality coating that clings beautifully.
Baking Sheet Spacing Hack 📍
Arrange meatballs at least 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet and rotate halfway through baking for even browning and consistent cooking throughout all sides.
