Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Combine ground pork or beef, breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, egg, sesame oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
Form the mixture into meatballs the size of golf balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for about 20–25 minutes, or until cooked through.
Whisk together 1/2 cup hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepan and simmer for 5–10 minutes until slightly thickened.
Transfer cooked meatballs to the saucepan and coat them thoroughly in the glaze.
Mix together finely chopped scallions, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and sugar to create a scallion sauce.
Serve the saucy meatballs hot, garnished with scallion sauce on the side.
