Instructions

1. 1Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2In a large bowl, place all of the meatball ingredients except for the canola oil: chicken, panko, egg, green onion, cilantro (if using), ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha.
3. 3With a fork, break up the egg yolk, then stir gently to combine all of the ingredients, switching to your hands if needed.
4. 4Scoop the mixture by 1 tablespoon portions and shape into balls that are 1 to 1 1/2-inches wide. Be careful not to overwork or compact the meat or the meatballs will be tough. You'll have 18 to 20 meatballs total. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each. Brush canola oil over the top and sides.
5. 5Bake the meatballs until they register 165°F on an instant read thermometer, about 10 minutes.
6. 6While the meatballs cook, prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the water, soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sriracha. Whisk and heat over medium-high, bringing the sauce to a boil. Let bubble, whisking constantly, until the ingredients are smoothly combined, and the sauce cooks down a little, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in the sesame oil. Carefully taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. Set aside to cool (the sauce will continue to thicken).
7. 7Serve the meatballs with rice and your veggies of choice. Drizzle generously with the sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onions, and cilantro as desired.
