Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 pound 80% lean ground beef

  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten

  • 4 tablespoons less-sodium soy sauce, divided

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger

  • 1/2 cup hoisin sauce

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1 green onion, minced

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed

  • hot cooked white rice, for serving

  • toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onion, for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

  2. Put ground beef, panko, egg, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 cloves garlic, and 1 teaspoon ginger in a bowl; stir until just combined (do not overwork). Gently shape mixture into 11/2-inch balls. Arrange on prepared baking sheet.

  3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into centers of meatballs registers 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

  4. Meanwhile, stir together hoisin sauce, honey, green onion, vinegar, sesame oil, and remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 clove garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon ginger in a large saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Reserve 2 tablespoons sauce in a small bowl for green beans. Add meatballs to remaining sauce in saucepan; cook until flavors meld, about 2 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beans; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly blistered, 4 to 5 minutes. Add reserved sauce to beans; stir to coat. Serve meatballs with beans over rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion.
