Cooking Steps
Before, starting wash and dry all produce. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add sesame seeds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring, until golden, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer sesame seeds to a plate.Meanwhile, thinly slice green onion.
Combine pork, panko, half the soy sauce, garlic, 1/8 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper in a medium bowl. (TIP: If you prefer firmer meatballs, add an egg to the mixture!)Roll mixture into 14 equal-sized meatballs.
Reheat the same pan (from step 1) over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then meatballs. Cook, turning meatballs often, until browned all over and cooked through, 6-8 min.** Add sweet and sour sauce, brown sugar and remaining soy sauce to the pan.Toss meatballs gently, until glaze thickens slightly and meatballs are coated, 1-2 min. Remove from heat.
Transfer meatballs to a serving plate. Spoon any remaining glaze from the pan over top. Sprinkle green onions and sesame seeds over top.
