Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef or ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated

  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and green onions. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
  2. Shape the mixture into small, evenly-sized meatballs and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Notes

  • Adjust soy sauce for desired saltiness.
  • Add a splash of sesame oil for authentic flavor.
  • Use fresh vegetables for better taste and texture.
  • Include chili flakes for spiciness according to preference.
  • Ensure uniform size for even cooking.
