Ingredients

Meatballs

1 ½ lb ground pork or sub out for turkey
1 ½ lb ground beef or sub out for chicken
2 eggs
4 tbsp ginger paste
4 cloves garlic grated
4 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
¼ cup cilantro finely chopped
¼ cup green onions finely chopped
1 ½ tsp kosher salt
1 tsp sesame seeds for topping
½ small red chili finely chopped, optional

Sauce

1 cup soy sauce or use coconut aminos
2 tsp sesame seed oil
½ lime juiced
3 tbsp monk fruit sweetener optional
2 cloves garlic grated
1 tbsp ginger grated

Instructions

Turn the oven on to broil.
Add all of the sauce ingredients to a small saucepan and cook for 10 minutes on medium heat until reduced by about half. Turn off the heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, stir all of the meatball ingredients together. Gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
Use a small 1-inch cookie scoop to scoop into balls. Add to a baking sheet. This recipe should make 46 meatballs.
Wet your hands and roll each meatball into round meatballs.
Bake for 7 minutes on broil. Remove the meatballs from oven and toss in the sauce.
Serve over cauliflower rice and garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and chilies if you want a little heat. Add seasoned cucumbers for additional freshness and crunch.

Notes

To store: After the cooked meatballs have cooled, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can toss them with the sauce before storing them, or store both separately.

To reheat: Cook them for a minute or two in the microwave or bake them in the oven until warmed through.

To freeze: You can freeze the meatballs before or after they’re cooked. Place the shaped uncooked or the cooked and cooled meatballs in a single layer on a baking sheet in the freezer. Once they’re frozen, store them in an airtight container or transfer them to a freezer bag for easier storage. Thaw out before cooking.
