  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim green beans, if necessary, and cut into 1" pieces.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green portions separate.

    In a mixing bowl, combine panko, 1 Tbsp. water, and 1 Tbsp. soy sauce (reserve remaining for meatballs). Let sit, 1 minute.

    After 1 minute, add ground pork, ginger, half the sesame oil (reserve remaining for green beans), white portions of green onions, and half the garlic salt (reserve remaining for green beans). Form mixture into 16 evenly-sized meatballs.

  2. 2

    Cook Meatballs and Add Sauce

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add meatballs to hot pan and roll occasionally until browned all over, 4-6 minutes.

    Reduce heat to medium. Stir in remaining soy sauce and 3 Tbsp. water until combined, 30-60 seconds.

    Cover and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until meatballs reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    While meatballs cook, continue recipe.
