Teriyaki meatballs

Last night I made teriyaki meatballs and rice for dinner and it was amazing!!!
These were kid approved, so I will be making them again, and they were pretty easy to make.

Ingredients:
Meatballs
1 lb ground pork
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 clove minced garlic 
1/2 tsp lower sodium soy sauce
2-3 green onions chopped
1/2 tsp of ginger (I didn't measure, just sprinkled. You could also use fresh ginger.)

Sauce
1/2 cup lower sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp corn starch
1/2 tsp ginger (again I didn't measure, and you could use fresh ginger)
sesame seeds

1. Set oven to 400. Start your rice. I use brown rice and it takes 50 minutes to cook. Cook according to directions on package.
2.Place meat into large bowl. Add minced garlic, green onions, soy sauce, bread crumbs, and ginger.
3. Mix with hands until everything is well incorporated.
4. Line a baking sheet with tin foil. Make tbsp sized balls.
Rolls the balls and place on baking sheet. You should get about 30 of them. 
Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.

5. While those are baking start the sauce. Place soy sauce, brown, sugar, and water in small sauce pan and cook on medium heat until sugar is dissolved. 
6. Add rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger. Cook on medium a few more minutes.
7. Add corn starch and cook until thickened, then sprinkle sesame seeds into it.
8. Once everything is ready place rice in bowls, top with meatballs, and add sauce.
**What I like the best about this is that it's not to salty.
