Instructions

1. 1Combine the ground pork, eggs, fresh ginger, fresh garlic, panko breadcrumbs, and green onions in a large bowl. Mix until just combined, then wet your hands and form the mixture into meatballs about the size of a tablespoon. You should have approximately 35 meatballs.
2. 2Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Working in batches to avoid crowding, cook the meatballs for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides and the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Transfer cooked meatballs to a plate.
3. 3Add the broccoli florets to the same skillet with a splash of water. Cover and cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the broccoli is tender-crisp and bright green. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. 4While the broccoli cooks, make the teriyaki sauce by combining the soy sauce, 1/2 cup water, honey, fresh garlic, fresh ginger, chili paste, and lime juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce to medium-low and simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes foamy.
5. 5Return the meatballs to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the meatballs and broccoli, stirring gently to coat. Cook for 2–3 minutes over medium heat until heated through.
6. 6Divide the meatballs and broccoli evenly into 6 airtight containers while hot, ensuring each portion receives equal sauce. Top with fresh cilantro and seal.
