Teriyaki Meatballs And Rice

Ingredients

• Meatballs
• 1 lb. Ground beef
• ¼ cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup Green onions (thinly sliced for garnish)
• 2¼ tsp Crushed garlic
• 1 Egg
• Salt & pepper
• Teriyaki Sauce
• 1 tsp Crushed ginger
• 1 tsp Paprika
• ¼ cup Soy sauce or Tamari
• 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp Raw brown sugar or honey

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400F
2. TO MAKE THE MEATBALLS: Mix all meatball ingredients together until well combined. Using your hands, form the mix into walnut sized meatballs (about 2 inch balls). I like to think that each meatball is about two bites. Heat a pan on the stovetop and add a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Fry your meatballs in two to three batches for around 5 minutes until lightly browned all over. I use a spoon to turn them over in the pan. Remove the meatballs from the pan and place them on an oven tray lined with baking paper. This recipe makes around 15 - 20 meatballs
3. TO MAKE THE SAUCE: Add all sauce ingredients to the meatball pan (this saves on washing). Bring to the boil. Then pour over the tray of meatballs.
4. Pop the tray into the oven and bake for around 15 - 20 minutes until meatballs are cooked through and sauce has thickened
5. Serve with rice and extra soy sauce (optional)
