Instruções

In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the Firecracker Sauce. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, except the sesame oil, for the meatballs. Use your hands to work the mixture together until everything is mixed and evenly distributed throughout. Roll the meat into 1.5 inch balls.

Heat a large pan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs and cook 1-2 minutes per side to brown.

Pour the firecracker sauce over the meatballs and bring to a simmer. Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for 8-12 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through (165˚F internal temp.)

Toss meatballs in the sauce, and garnish with sliced green onions and serve warm.
