Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork or beef, breadcrumbs, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, egg, and sesame oil. Mix gently until just combined and form into 16-20 meatballs.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Brown meatballs on all sides for about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to plate once browned.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, add hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water to the skillet. Whisk together and let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Return meatballs to the skillet, toss to coat in glaze, cover, and simmer for 4-6 minutes until cooked through.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together chopped scallions, additional soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar to prepare the scallion sauce.
  6. Plate the cooked meatballs hot and drizzle scallion sauce generously on top just before serving.
