Ingredients
For the meatballs:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 2 green onions finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the sauce:

- 1/4 cup soy sauce less sodium
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch + water
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, green onion, soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Mix gently just just combined. Don’t overmix, or the meatballs can turn tough.
- Roll into 1-inch meatballs and place them in the air fryer basket. Make sure they aren’t touching. Cook them at 380° F for 8 minutes or until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Shake the basket half way.
- In a skillet, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, vinegar and sesame oil. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer until glossy and slightly thickened.
- Add the cooked meatballs to the skillet and toss until fully coated in the sticky sauce.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onion for garnish.
Notes
- Oven directions: Bake at 400°F for 18-20 minutes.
