Prep Time20 Minutes

Cook Time20 Minutes
Ingredients
3 tbsp Bowl & Basket rice wine vinegar
3 tbsp Bowl & Basket soy sauce
¾ tsp Bowl & Basket salt
1 tsp Bowl & Basket honey
1 tbsp freshly grated ginger (can substitute 1 tsp ground if needed)
¼ cup chopped green onions
1 tbsp Bowl & Basket Cornstarch
1 8oz can chopped water Chestnuts
1 large egg, beaten slightly
2 tbsp Bowl & Basket toasted sesame oil
1 lb ground pork
1 cup Bowl & Basket Panko breadcrumbs
Directions
- Combine the first 10 ingredients (vinegar through sesame oil) in a large bowl and whisk well to combine. Add in pork and breadcrumbs and mix until just combined - mixture should be homogeneous but try not to over mix or it will toughen the pork.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees. While preheating, create meatballs by measuring approximately ⅓ cup of the meatball mixture and gently rolling it into balls. Place on a plate or baking sheet until ready to cook.
- Once the air fryer is hot, place 5-6 meatballs (however many will fit without overcrowding) into the air fryer and cook for 7 minutes. Gently flip the meatballs and cook for another 7 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Serve with steamed white rice and vegetables, if desired.
Tips: To bake: preheat oven to 375 and cook on a foil-lined sheet pan for 15-20 min To fry: pan fry in ¼ cup vegetable oil until browned on all sides and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes
