Instructions

For the Meatballs

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
   Mix all meatball ingredients together in a large bowl, then use olive oil to roll into balls. I typically get 12-15 meatballs per pound of ground meat.

2. Place your meatballs on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees (~15 minutes).

3. Once fully cooked, combine meatballs with honey garlic sauce, then top with sesame seeds.

For the Sauce

Combine your sauce ingredients in a sauce pan and simmer over medium heat for 4 minutes. Once thickened to a syrup-like consistency, remove from heat. Combine this sauce with your cooked meatballs.

For the Rice

Prepare 2 cups jasmine rice according to package directions (~12 minutes once boiling) , then season with garlic salt, pepper, parsley, and butter.
