Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F.
To make the meatballs, combine all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Season with a generous amount of salt and black pepper.
Form the mixture into 16 balls, and place them on a non-stick baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
Meanwhile, make the sauce by combining all the ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook over a low-medium heat until warmed through.
Transfer the cooked meatballs to a bowl and add the sauce. Turn to coat, then place them on a serving platter.
Drizzle a little extra sauce over the top, then garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
