Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup panko
  • 1 jalapeno {ribs and seeds removed, finely diced}
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 green onion {thinly sliced}
  • 1/4 cup cilantro {minced}
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic {minced}
  • 1/2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp ginger {grated}

Equipment

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a silpat.
  • Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and combine. Pro tip: it's easiest to mix using your hands.
  • Make uniform-sized meatballs and place them on the baking sheet without allowing them to touch.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, and then flip and bake for an additional 8 minutes. Cook until internal temperature is 160 degrees F.
  • If you'd like the tops crispy/browned, place under a broiler set to high for 1-2 minutes. Watch closely so they don't burn!

Notes

Makes 16 1 inch meatballs.
 
Sub in almond flour and use coconut aminos in place of the soy sauce to make these gluten-free.
 
Add an optional 1/3 cup of grated carrot to the mixture to increase the veggies.
