Ingredients

MEATBALLS

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup fine dry breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup finely chopped onion

TERIYAKI SAUCE

  • ½  cup  soy sauce
  • 2  tablespoons  rice vinegar
  • 1  tablespoon  brown sugar
  • 2  teaspoons  garlic, minced
  • 1  teaspoon  ginger, minced
  • ½ tablespoon  cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup  green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1  tablespoon  sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine ground pork, ground beef, beaten egg, cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix together until just combined.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the milk, breadcrumbs, garlic, and onion.
  • Add milk mixture to the meat mixture being careful not to overwork ingredients.
  • Greasing hands before starting, form the mixture into desired-size meatballs. (We used a heaping 2-tablespoon scoop for each meatball.) Place into the prepared baking dish.
  • Place in preheated oven and roast for about 20 minutes (or until the meatballs are crisp on the outside).
  • While meatballs are cooking, prepare teriyaki sauce.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Whisk ingredients together and cook for 2 minutes or until the brown sugar has dissolved.
  • Reduce heat to low.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water. Pour into the saucepan and simmer until thickened. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
  • Remove the meatballs from the oven. Carefully discard most of the grease.
  • Pour the sauce over the cooked meatballs. Cover the dish with foil and return it to the oven to bake for an additional 20-25 minutes (or until the meatballs are cooked through – 165°F on a meat thermometer).
  • Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
