General Tso Meatballs

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, panko bread crumbs, 2 green onions, egg, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Season with salt, add the red pepper flakes and mix to combine. Roll the mixture into small balls, about the size of a heaping tablespoon. Roll meatballs in cornstarch to coat.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, pour enough olive oil to fill the bottom of the pan and heat olive oil. Add meatballs and cook until seared on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and drain the fat. Alternatively - cook in 350-degree oven for 15 minutes.
3. To the skillet over medium heat, add chicken broth, soy sauce, balsamic, hoisin, and honey. Whisk to combine then add back meatballs. Simmer until meatballs are cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes more. Remove from heat and sprinkle with remaining green onion and sesame seeds.
