Instructions
1
In a large bowl, mix together all of your ingredients for your meatballs.
2
Divide your meat mixture into 10 sections. With the palm of your hand, place the meat inside and roll into a ball.
3
Add 1 cup of water to the inside of your Instant Pot. Place the trivet inside. Place each meatball on top of the trivet. Your meatballs can be stacked if need be.
4
Using a tall trivet, place your water and rice together in a pressure safe dish. You can use Pyrex bowls, Bundt pan, or even loaf pans!
5
With your lid on, close the sealing valve. Set your Instant Pot to High Pressure for 7 minutes.
6
While your meat and rice are cooking, mix together everything for your sauce in a medium sized bow. Set aside.
7
After the time has finished, do a quick release.
8
Carefully remove everything from your IP or allow the insides to cool.
9
Once your meatballs have been removed, use a pastry brush to brush the sauce on your meatballs. Use as much or as little as you would like!
10
Serve your meatballs over your rice. Top with sesame seeds and green onions! Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Brown Meatballs Before Pressure Cooking 🍖Use the Instant Pot's sauté function to brown meatballs for 2-3 minutes before pressure cooking—this develops a flavorful crust and deepens the umami profile without adding extra time.
- Balance Sweet and Savory with Honey 🍯Add honey gradually to the sauce and taste as you go; this prevents oversweetening while allowing the Worcestershire and soy sauce's savory notes to shine through.
- Use Fresh Ginger Paste Over Ground 👨🍳Fresh ginger paste delivers brighter, more authentic Asian flavor compared to dried ground ginger, and integrates seamlessly into the meatball mixture for consistent heat distribution.
- Don't Skip the Natural Release 🌬️Allow 5 minutes of natural pressure release before quick-releasing to prevent the sauce from splattering and to let residual heat gently finish cooking the meatballs evenly.
- Toast Breadcrumbs with Olive Oil First 🔆Briefly toast breadcrumbs in olive oil before mixing into the meat for enhanced texture and a subtle nutty flavor that elevates the overall depth of the dish.
