Ingredients

  • 2 pounds - ground beef
  • 2 - eggs
  • ½ cup - breadcrumbs
  • 4 - green onions
  • 1 tbsp - garlic
  • 1 tbsp - ginger paste
  • 1 tsp - olive oil

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 bowl. 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!
