Teriyaki Meatballs

1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup(s) minced scallions
2 tablespoon(s) soy sauce
2 1/2 teaspoon(s) grated peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoon(s) toasted sesame oil
1 clove(s) garlic, crushed through a press
1/4 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pound(s) ground hamburger or pork
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 cup(s) thick teriyaki sauce and marinade (we like and used Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki for this meal)
Toasted sesame seeds (optional)

In a large bowl, whisk egg, scallions, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, garlic, and pepper until blended. Add hamburger/pork and mix in with your hands until combined. Shape into 30 (1 1/2-inch) balls.

Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Sauté until lightly browned on all sides and meatballs firm up.

Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Place meatballs in a glass dish. Brush with teriyaki sauce. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, brushing once with remaining sauce, until cooked through and glazed.

Insert toothpicks into meatballs and transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds
