Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the ground meat, panko breadcrumbs, milk, egg, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Do not overmix.
  3. Roll the mixture into uniform 1-inch meatballs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake the meatballs for 15-18 minutes, or until cooked through.
  5. While the meatballs bake, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, and rice vinegar.
  6. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  7. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the simmering sauce.
  8. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  9. Place the cooked meatballs in a large bowl. Pour the teriyaki glaze over the meatballs. Gently toss until every meatball is well coated.
  10. Serve immediately garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

  • Sasha suggests tasting the glaze before adding the cornstarch; adjust brown sugar if you prefer it sweeter.
  • If you like a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze mixture.
  • You can easily double this recipe for a crowd.
