minutesIngredients
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1/2 cup Panko
2 large egg yolks
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
Sesame seeds, for garnish
- For the teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons honey
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Coat a cooling rack with nonstick spray and place on baking sheet; set aside.
- For the Teriyaki Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1/4 cup water; set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic powder, honey and 1 cup water; bring to a simmer. Stir in cornstarch mixture until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes.
- For the Meatballs
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, Panko, egg yolks, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce and white pepper. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into 1 1/4-to-1 1/2-inch meatballs, forming about 40 meatballs.
- Place meatballs onto prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
- Serve meatballs immediately with teriyaki sauce, garnished with green onion and sesame seeds, if desired.

I was so excited to make these, but they really fizzled. I could not find any ground pork, so I substituted an Asian pork sausage. The flavor was fine, but the meatballs themselves were just mushy. Do you think the sausage substitute would have done that? I was worried about having too much spice, but that was fine. The teriyaki sauce turned out really nice, however!
Hey Jim, I’m unfamiliar with Asian pork sausage. Could be it was more fat than actual meat in the grind. I just made these last month using ground pork from the local grocer and all was good. Congrats on the sauce. You’re halfway there!
