Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the meatball ingredients until combined, forming 1 to 1 1/2 inch meatballs. A cookie scoop can help for uniformity.
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the meatballs are thoroughly cooked. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes on the baking sheet.
Toss the meatballs in the teriyaki sauce. Optionally, sprinkle with additional green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with toothpicks or over rice.

Notes

For a variation, try using ground turkey instead of beef and pork.
Make ahead: you can prepare the meatballs in advance and freeze them before baking.
Adjust the teriyaki sauce to your preferred sweetness.
