Terrific Teriyaki Meatballs - Bring the Takeout Home

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 Celsius).

In a bowl, add 1 pound of lean ground beef.

Add 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the beef.

Crack in 1 egg to bind the mixture.

Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Add 1 tablespoon of ketchup.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt.

Add 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper.

Mix everything together with your hands until well combined.

Roll a handful of the mixture into a meatball shape and set aside on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Place the meatballs in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes.

In a measuring cup, combine 4 tablespoons of cooking wine, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of mirin, 1/2 cup of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.

Whisk the sauce ingredients together until well combined.

Check the meatballs after 30 minutes; they should be done.

In a pan, add the sauce and bring it to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon until it thickens due to the cornstarch.

Add the baked meatballs to the sauce and toss to coat them evenly.

Garnish the meatballs with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Serve with a side dish of your choice, such as rice.
