Ingredients Needed

Please note that the full list of ingredients, as well as the printable recipe version, is available below.

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • pinch salt & pepper
Mixing meat mixture ingredients in a bowl

How to Make this Meal

STEP ONE: Start by mixing all ingredients together—list on the recipe card below. Mix until well incorporated. Then start by making your pork meatballs in the size you prefer. 1″-2″ pork meatballs are just about perfect, in my opinion.

 I use a meatball scoop to keep them the same size so they cook evenly.

STEP TWO: Next, bake your meatballs for 15 to 20 minutes at 425 degrees. Make sure to drain all the fat. This will give you the chance to keep that excess fat out of the sauce. Keeping it lean and flavorful.

STEP THREE: In a skillet over medium heat, add soy sauce, teriyaki, and brown sugar. Mix until dissolved. Place meatballs in the sauce, top with green onions and sesame seeds. Heat until the sauce starts to cook down and caramelize on the meatballs. Spoon over noodles and veggies!
