Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through and golden brown.

While the meatballs bake, prepare the teriyaki sauce by combining soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan.

Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the meatballs from the oven and toss them in the teriyaki sauce until well coated.

Serve the meatballs over cooked rice, garnished with sesame seeds and additional green onions.
