- 4 green onions, thinly sliced, divided
- 1 egg
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced or grated
- 1 teaspoon Fustini's Sesame oil
- Kosher salt

Ingredients
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, panko bread crumbs, 2 green onions, egg, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Season with salt, add the red pepper flakes and mix to combine. Roll the mixture into small balls, about the size of a heaping tablespoon. Roll meatballs in cornstarch to coat.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, pour enough olive oil to fill the bottom of the pan and heat olive oil. Add meatballs and cook until seared on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and drain the fat. Alternatively - cook in 350-degree oven for 15 minutes.
- To the skillet over medium heat, add chicken broth, soy sauce, balsamic, hoisin, and honey. Whisk to combine then add back meatballs. Simmer until meatballs are cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes more. Remove from heat and sprinkle with remaining green onion and sesame seeds.
