How to make Vegan Teriyaki Meatballs:

For the meatballs:

Into a medium-size mixing bowl, add plant-based ground, scallions, crushed ginger paste, garlic, and sea salt. 

Using your very clean hands, gently mix together until fully combined. 

Form mixture into 20 meatballs.

Chill at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

Into a large skillet over medium heat, add toasted sesame oil. When the oil is hot, add meatballs in an even layer. 

Cook for about 7 minutes, shaking the skillet frequently to turn the meatballs until browned and cooked through.

Remove meatballs to a plate and wipe down the skillet.

For the sauce:

Into the skillet, add tamari, water, honey, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Whisk to combine.

Add meatballs, turning them to coat.

Cook, for 1 minute, until sauce is slightly thickened.

To serve:

Top hot meatballs with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds. 

Serve hot. 

 

Cheers!
