Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Peel and mince ginger until you have 1 tablespoon. Trim scallions and thinly slice, keeping whites and greens separate. Bring 2 cups salted water to a boil in a medium pot.
2. In a medium bowl, combine minced ginger, scallion whites, ground beef, panko, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 egg. Season with salt and pepper (about 1 teaspoon salt). Form into 1-inch meatballs and place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes until no longer pink on the surface.
3. Once water is boiling, add jasmine rice to the pot. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until tender, 15–20 minutes.
4. Remove baking sheet from oven. Brush each meatball with hoisin sauce. Return to oven and bake until glaze is set, about 5 minutes.
5. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add snow peas and cook, tossing, until tender, 4–5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Cut lime into wedges. Sprinkle meatballs with sesame seeds. Divide rice among plates, top with snow peas and meatballs. Garnish with scallion greens and serve with lime wedges.

Recipe Tips

FAQ

Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?

Yes, ground turkey works well. Just be sure not to overbake, as turkey can dry out quickly.

Can I make these meatballs ahead of time?

Absolutely. Form the meatballs and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking. You can also freeze them unbaked for up to 3 months.

What can I substitute for hoisin sauce?

A mix of soy sauce, honey, and a little peanut butter can mimic hoisin in a pinch.
