Preparation

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, put the ingredients for the sauce, season with salt and pepper and mix. Set aside.
In a large bowl, put the ingredients for the meatballs and mix for 2 minutes with your hands. Form small balls with about 1 1/2 tablespoon of the mixture and place on the baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Flip the meatballs halfway through cooking.
Meanwhile, bring the sauce to a boil and reduce for 6 to 8 minutes or until the sauce has reduced to 1/3.
Pour half of the sauce over the meatballs and toss to coat. Continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes so that the sauce sticks to the meatballs! Serve over rice, drizzle with remaining sauce. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
